Editorial Reviews

Product Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best advanced C# book I have seen, July 6, 2003
By ueberhund "ueberhund" (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews
While the book is supposed to be centered on ".NET" components, it's really more about C# than anything else. After the obligatory introduction to .NET, JIT, MSIL, and all the other .NET acronyms, the book gets down to business. In fact, this book really begins where a lot of other C# books tend to end: interfaces and inheritance. There is then discussion on version control, including using multiple versions of an assembly in the GAC. While I have seen this type of discussion in other .NET books, I haven't seen it discussed in the depth that Löwy's book does it.

I think the thing I most enjoyed about this book was the chapter on Remoting. Again, I have seen discussions on Remoting in other books (including Microsoft's own MSDN documentation), but no where have I seen as thorough a discussion with as many useful examples as in this book.

Other topics covered in this book include multithreading, asynchronous calls, serialization (including various types of serialization formatters), interception, and security. This book is not for the beginning .NET programmer. If you're looking for a good introductory C# book, pick up a copy of Jesse Liberty's book. If you're looking for a intermediate to advanced text, then this is one of the very best I have seen. More of the "hard" stuff to do in .NET is covered in this book than in any other place I have seen. I can honestly say that this is the best advanced C# book I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take the next step, August 7, 2004
By dannomite "Dan Maltes" (Cornwall, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This book is about half the size of many of my other .NET programming books, and yet I've used about twice as many concepts from it than the bigger books. Computer books are just bloated today because publishers know we knowledge hungry programmers are drawn to the supersized books. Well, this book breaks the mold. It is clear, concise, potent and modestly sized. For example, chapter 11 on context and interception and the logging component example is awesome. If you want to take the next step as a .NET programmer, read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harry Potter for Programmers, August 25, 2003
Juval Lowy's Programming .Net Components is the Harry Potter for .Net developers. I usually read technical books a chapter at a time, over the course of a month or two; I found .Net Components, however, to be a real page turner. Seriously! I ran through it in a week, devoting any extra time to the text, and I find myself revisiting the chapters that are most relevant to the work I'm tackling. This book includes material on OO design, threading, Remoting, security, versioning, and other advanced topics that you won't find MSDN discussing in this detail or with this practicality. Lowy's combination of .Net framework insight combines with implementation best practices to produce a book for sophisticated software development with .Net. I consider it the best .Net book I've read, and I've read a lot of them.
