.NET & XML: Understanding the Code and Markup Behind the Wizards
by Niel M. BornsteinIf you're seeking ways to build network-based applications or XML-based web services, Microsoft provides most of the tools you'll need. XML is integrated into the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET, but if you want to get a grasp on how .NET and XML actually work together, that's a different story. With .NET & XML, you can get under the hood to see how the .NET Framework implements XML, giving you the skills to write understandable XML-based code that interoperates with code written with other tools, and even other languages..NET & XML starts by introducing XML and the .NET Framework, and then teaches you how to read and write XML before moving on to complex methods for manipulating, navigating, transforming, and constraining it. To demonstrate the power of XML in .NET, author Niel Bornstein builds a simple hardware store inventory system throughout the book. As you move from chapter to chapter, you'll absorb increasingly complex information until you have enough knowledge to successfully program your own XML-based applications. This tutorial also contains a quick reference to the API, plus appendices present additional .NET assemblies that you can use to work with XML, and how to work with the .NET XML configuration file format.One study puts the potential market for new software based on XML at or near $100 billion over the next five years. The .NET Framework gives you a way to become a part of it. But to use XML and .NET effectively, you need to understand how these two technologies work together. This book gives you the insight to take full advantage of the power the two provide.

.NET Bibliography
by Safari Content TeamWhen Microsoft released the first beta of the .NET Framework in 2000 it quickly became the default way of developing software for Windows. Rising from the technological legacy of COM, with the C# language, Common Language Runtime (CLR), Intermediate Language (IL) and Just-in-time (JIT) compilation, it was a modern platform that made it easy for Java and C++ developers to develop for Windows. At the same time, Visual Basic .NET provided a natural transition path for Visual Basic developers. Since then, .NET has evolved and branched through 7 major releases of the framework to the current day, and with Windows 8, Microsoft has surprised developers with a completely new UI stack. In this highly competitive world of technology, Microsoft makes the operating system that is running on over a billion computers, yet they continue innovating with unique features of programming languages, and breakthroughs such as Kinect or PixelSense. .NET offers an environment that is a pleasure to develop on and a consistent platform where you will feel at home moving from one technology stack to another. Should you decide to explore the exciting world of .NET development, be sure to use this bibliography to access Safari Books Online resources that will help you understand and master .NET programming.
