Required reading for serious .NET development

I read this book several years ago and have since returned to it every two years or so for a light re-read. I consider it a member of a very small group of elite .NET development books and often recommend it, along with "CLR via C#" and "C# in Depth", to young .NET developers looking to take the next step in their careers.

A great conceptual\cookbook reference for any intermediate .NET developer

I think of this book as a cookbook without the fat, or a concept book with some meat. The book discusses topics that are often glossed over in introductory books; exactly the types of things that a responsible .NET developer needs to understand to write efficient and stable .NET applications.

.Net on Steroids !

A Classic Book that begins it's journey, where all books end. The true difference between a casual programmer and a disciplined programmer is more prominent in his/her code when they start using advanced features of the framework. A true programmer knows his stuff in and out and knows how to leverage the features of the framework effectively in every line of code. And to get to that level of proficiency it takes reading and practicing the concepts on daily basis. And if at all, there is any book out there, that will help you, then it is this book. A definite YES. 5 Stars.

One Of A Kind On .NET Components And C# Programming

Without any second thought I will place this book among the best books on the subject ever published. I hope everybody will agree that there are only a few books that worth reading from the beginning to the end without skipping a page. To me this is one of those rare books.
The author manages to reflect on broad architectural concepts and yet be extremely specific. He was able to present the most complicated aspects of component oriented programming and the C# language in a very simple, yet concise manner. Many complex issues that may turn off even experienced programmers are described in a way that not only are very well understood, but could easily be migrated into a working program. The author has found an absolutely perfect balance of presenting general architectural aspects of the subject he is discussing and real life implementation techniques.
I truly believe that anybody who is dealing with such aspects (to name but a few) as serialization, asynchronous invocation, multithreading, reflection, events, delegates, deterministic finalization, etc., MUST read this book.
By the way, this author has published another wonderful book on Windows Communication Foundation - "Programming WCF".

Can be considered a general, concise book on Software Programming...

Microsoft technology has generated some really good books on software programming over the years. This book is definitely one of them. The difference between this book and the others may lie in the fact that it is published by O'Reilly. This book is devoted to the latest Microsoft technology, but it is really a book that explains the basic principles behind all software programming.

You can read this book and substitute any other language, for example Java, to implement the principles elucidated. Of course, the set of software principles is much vaster than in this book, but there are not too many tomes that concisely and clearly explain the fundamental principles that have to show up in any software application.

And it also shows how elegant a job Microsoft has done with DotNet to implement these ubiquitous principles and make their usage incredibly easy. After the pain and torture of their earlier technology (eg. COM), this shines in contrast. Took me back to the joys of programming in plain old Basic and Visual Basic once upon a time. They must have done something right when the open-source advocates jump to implement their own version of DotNet.

The introduction of the Microsoft® .NET framework not only brings developers a powerful, cohesive toolset for the development of new Windows and Web applications -- it also replaces COM as the technology of choice for building components on Windows platforms. Components are the fundamental building blocks of .NET applications; they can both simplify and add flexibility to complex applications. Applied properly, component-oriented programming enable reuse, allow for long-term maintenance, application extensibility and scalability. Programming .NET Components offers a complete introduction to the new Microsoft .NET component model, focusing on the aspects of .NET that make it ideal for building reusable, maintainable, and robust components. Author Juval Löwy, a noted authority on component-oriented programming, teaches the intricacies of .NET component programming and the related system issues to application developers, along with relevant design guidelines, tips, best practices, and known pitfalls. The book is packed with helpful original utilities aimed at simplifying the programming model and increasing the developer productivity.
