This book focuses on a part of .NET called "attributes". Attributed programming is a feature of .NET that is still relatively unexplored and unknown, yet is extremely important and will become more important over time. Attributes are used to modify the runtime behavior of code in the .NET framework. The book covers the fundamentals of attributes, common .NET attributes, use of custom attributes, and advanced techniques.
Applied .NET Attributes
and over one million other books are available for Amazon Kindle.

Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
"Before I received this book I had the same feeling the authors had … . ‘How much pages can you write about .NET Attributes?’. … The book itself indeed isn’t thick … not just covering the usage of the existing .NET Attributes, as I quickly realised when I read it, but also a wealth of background information … . I learned a lot from this book … . I’m sure I will get back to it from time to time … ." (Bob Swart, www.thedelphimagazine.com, March, 2004)

Really cool book,
By
This review is from: Applied .NET Attributes (Paperback)
I had been programming in .NET for a while before I really learned to appreciate the power of attributes. But even then I was still playing around with [Obsolete], [Serializable] and the more common ones. Then I ran across the whole subject of declarative security and realized I had a Lot of learning to do. Fortunately for me, this book eased the process.The only thing I didn't like about it is that I wish there was a lot more of it. Most of the discussion of attributes that I've run across are either the 'canned' ones like what I mention above, or overly theoretical. Too often I just couldn't see where they'd be applicable (more because of my thick head than any writer's deficiencies). That's where this book really shines. It starts out with your basic "what's" and "why's" but gets moving pretty quickly. Another thing about this book is that it's a pretty advanced topic. Back in college, we were heavy into OOP, but I don't remember hearing about AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) and this is the first time I've really run across it. I really wish there would have been some more on the subject, but they did a very good job explaining the subject. There are many good examples in here and the text is very well written. APress is pretty great about the quality of their stuff and this is no exception.

WELL WORTH IT,

This review is from: Applied .NET Attributes (Paperback)
Excellent way to move the .NET tools you build to their next level of value. I have been developing for over 10 years; I buy an average of 4 books a month. I have never written a review before this. This is the first.These guys took the first serious shot at moving us (the .NET crowd) toward thinking about Aspect Oriented Programming by doing an excellent job revealing the tools that currently exist in the .NET Framework. I have been looking into AOP using C# and there are not that many available resources. A few, but not many. The book doesn't go into a bunch of over kill on selling AOP. It actually points out some possible performance issues with using context-interception. It just gives a real practical overview of AOP. The book hits the ground running and covers a ton of valuable information related to .NET Attribute usage. I won't go into the details of the book there is plenty of information available on the APress web site. Go check out the Detailed TOC, Index, and Sample Chapter: Chapter 1: Attribute Fundamentals. This book is the shortest one I have bought this year.

Excellent way to move the .NET tools you build to their next level of value. I have been developing for over 10 years; I buy an average of 4 books a month. I have never written a review before this. These guys took the first serious shot at moving us (the .NET crowd) toward thinking about Aspect Oriented Programming by doing an excellent job revealing the unpublicized tools that currently exist. To date I was looking into AOP in C# here among other places (there are not that many available): Theme/UML http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/index.php?category_id=165 AspectC# http://www.dsg.cs.tcd.ie/index.php?category_id=171 I won't go into the details of the book, you can find them here: If you buy just one book this year, make it this one. It is the shortest one I have bought this year.
