Book excerpt: .NET is Microsoft's vision of "software as a service", a development environment in which you can build, create, and deploy your applications, and develop the next generation of components, termed Web Services. All of Microsoft's major flagship products from Visual Studio to Windows, and eventually Office are gradually being integrated into the vision, and they will all offer services that will allow greater integration between products. .NET will allow developers to develop in whatever language they are comfortable with, via the introduction of a common language runtime, whilst at the same time provide "building block services" to ease application development. Introducing .NET is designed to tell you exactly what you need to know, to cut through the fog and to bring you a clear picture of what .NET is, and what you can expect to be able to do using it. Who is this Book For? This book is for experienced developers at the leading edge, or for businesses that want to stay one step ahead of the competition. The different sections of .NET are in varying stages of completion, and all are in beta programs, therefore a high degree of technical competence and awareness of technologies such as COM, COM+, ASP and VB is required on the part of the reader. Some experience of C, C+ +, or Java would be advantageous to anyone new to C#, although it's not essential.
