These devices are divided into two main divisions: those that are directly supported by .NET (Pocket PCs, i-Mode phones, and WAP devices) and those that are not (Palm OS and J2ME-powered devices). By the end of this book, you'll be able to make .NET work equally well with all of the devices. In the middle section of the book, the advantages of .NET as a development platform are first introduced.

Other available books deeply describe individual Framework components, such as database, Windows Forms, or WebForms, but none tie all the technologies into a single scalable application. James Crowley http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44079/net-development-for-java-programmers/ .NET Development for Java Programmers 2002-07-15T00:00:00.00Z Java developers have adapted to a world in which everything is an object, resources are reclaimed by a garbage collector, and multiple inheritance is replaced by interfaces. All of these things have prepared developers to thrive in Microsoft's new .NET environment using C#. Despite similarities between Java and C#, complex differences still lurk. This book will walk you through both language and library differences, to help you develop enterprise applications requiring mastery. James Crowley http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44063/a-programmers-guide-to-ado-net-in-c/ A Programmer's Guide to ADO .NET in C 2002-04-25T00:00:00.00Z This essential guide to Microsoft's ADO.NET overviews C#, then leads you toward deeper understanding of ADO.NET. Author Mahesh Chand provides key information about using each of .NET's major data providers, including OLE DB, SQL Server, and the released version of ODBC. Also featured are the methods and properties associated with these data providers' classes. Further, Chand shows you how to work with XML classes, integrate XML into the ADO James Crowley http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44328/beginning-information-cards-and-cardspace-from-novice-to-professional-experts-voice-in-net/ Beginning Information Cards and CardSpace: From Novice to Professional 2007-08-09T00:00:00.00Z If you work at all with Internet-facing solutions, you know that the lack of an identity metasystem is a critical vulnerability in the design. Various consortiums have worked to define a system of identitya platform-agnostic way of communicating and validating claims of identity. If you work with identity solutions or structures, you will find Beginning Information Cards and CardSpace: From Novice to Professional essential to understanding and successfully implementing CardSpace solutions. James Crowley http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44807/distributed-net-programming-in-vb-net/ Distributed .NET Programming in VB .NET 2002-09-24T00:00:00.00Z With the release of .NET, Microsoft has once again altered the distributed programming landscape. Almost everything has changed, from data access, to remote object calls, to the deployment of software components. And of course, .NET introduces a new technology in XML Web services that may revolutionize Web development. Distributed .NET Programming in VB .NET describes how to use these new .NET technologies to build fast, scalable, and robust distributed applications.
