Essential Windows Communication Foundation (WCF): For .NET Framework 3.5 (Microsoft .NET Development Series)
by Steve Resnick, Richard Crane, Chris Bowen
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 3 reviews.
Customer Review: A remarkably well organized and easy to read WCF how-to with respect to VS2008. Starts out with a basic service comparing code and configuration implementations. Subsequent chapters evolve gracefully reducing complexity to incremental understanding. Resulting SOAP and WSDL is presented with careful attention to cause and effect. WCF ...

Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries (Microsoft .NET Development Series)
by Krzysztof Cwalina, Brad Abrams
Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 28 reviews.
Customer Review: I don't personally think that all developers will find this book useful. In fact, I have a feeling that some may find it highly useless and disruptive as it is abstract in a sense (one must apply the lessons to each library and scenario independently, taking into consideration many different aspects of usability and readability) and...

by Shaun Walker, Joe Brinkman, Bruce Hopkins, Scott McCulloch, Chris Paterra, Patrick J. Santry, Scott Willhite, Dan Caron
Average Customer Review: 3 stars based on 15 reviews.
Customer Review: When I started with DotNetNuke a year ago I knew absolutely nothing about it. I bought a copy of professional DotNetNuke 4 read it cover to cover and it did wonders. It is very easy to understand it covers everything you need to know, and best of all it is a great reference even when you have experience with DotNetNuke. I still reac...

Customizing the Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime
by Steven Pratschner
Average Customer Review: 4 stars based on 9 reviews.
Customer Review: If you want to understand the intracies of how the 2.0 build of the CLR has been designed and implemented to support the hosting of it this book is it. I am a very curious person, I love technology and even more I love to understand how it works... When I wanted a better understanding of how SQL Server Hosted the CLR than what BOL co...

Microsoft .NET Compact Framework (Core Reference)
by Andy Wigley, Stephen Wheelwright, Robert Burbidge, Rory MacLoed, Mark Sutton
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 12 reviews.
Customer Review: I have some .NET C# experience, and this book is great. If you were new to C# it would probably be difficult, but for those with some .NET experience this book is perfect. I expected the book would come with a CD containing code samples, but you have to download them from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/companion/5...

Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming
by Jeffrey Richter
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 88 reviews.
Customer Review: This is not the kind of book where you will immediately be copying code and being instructed to follow basic instructions to achieve a task. Rather this is a deeply rich book on the internals of the .NET architecture. I consider it required reading for anyone serious about moving towards .NET Mastery. Is it completely comprehensive?...

Professional .NET Framework 2.0 (Programmer to Programmer)
by Joe Duffy
Average Customer Review: 4 stars based on 8 reviews.
Customer Review: I could write a lengthy review but it would be useless because I could do the same with just a few words - "just simply buy this book... really". It's really well written and easy to read. Depending on you interest you might find something interesting particularly to you, but I really liked chapters on arrays and collections, I/O, fi...
