I bet he'll teach you something, too."

programming—and show readers how to build better applications
using the .NET Framework while gaining a more complete
understanding of how the CLR works.
The book is packed with the practical detail and expert advice
only Don Box can provide. Topics covered include:
Essential .NET, Volume 1, is an authoritative
guide to the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime.

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 30 reviews. A must read for CLR Insight , 2004-08-28 Reviewer rating: If you havn't read this book, Buy it! I really enjoyed the style, flow, and great insight into the CLR. | Excellent but, 2004-07-23 Reviewer rating: only for advanced readers. If you are a beginner, you may get lost. I had to read a couple of times to get 100%. Excellent. Some concepts are pretty difficult to understand. | Solidify your understanding, 2004-02-24 Reviewer rating: This is not the book to dive into first if you want to really get .NET. It's actually a fairly interesting mixture of what I now consider obvious and what I never stopped to consider. If you are just starting out, I would begin with Richter's book, and then digest this one quickly afterwards. There is a significant amount of overlap, but your final understanding will be very balanced. | A dry subject made interesting, 2003-11-20 Reviewer rating: There are like a zillion CLR books out there and overall, it's not the type of subject that normally keeps you glued to it. When I got Jeffrey Richther's Microsoft .NET Framework book, I was convinced no one was going to outdo him. Well, it's a close call, but I think they are both Superb books by excellent authors. I've purchased Don's stuff before and really liked it. This book lived up to its expectations. I think his ability to communicate some of the more obscure areas of the CLR in a very clear matter is what makes this book shine. This book can be understood by anyone because of the writer's gift for writing...but that's not to say it's a novice's book. Wherever you are in the .NET learning curve, there's something for you in this book. If you really want to learn the CLR, this is a great place to start. | 35 days of insights, 2003-11-04 Reviewer rating: In my POV this is a masterpiece! I read both (Don Box's book and Stutz's Book)! Stutz's book has an "inside-out POV" to expose the CLR features,
Don Box's book has an "outside-in POV" to expose the CLR features. These two books are really cool... Any review less than 3 stars must be ignored! |
