A Programmer's View of .NET?

This talk explains the evolution towards .NET from a programmer's perspective. We will look at three key .NET innovations:

• Running software in any language on any device
• Producing and consuming XML Web services in any language on any device
• Raising the level of abstraction for programmers and end-users

Assembly

A first look at the fundamental unit of deployment in .NET: what assemblies are, what they contain, and how to build them.

COM Interop and PInvoke

This module introduces the concepts and mechanics of the interoperation of .NET managed code and COM unmanaged code and platform services. For students with at least some knowledge of the .NET framework, COM and the differences between managed and unmanaged execution.

Common Type System

Explains the key features of the common type system that underpins language interoperability in the Common Language Runtime of .NET. Covers motivations for the system, type safety, types defined, and how inheritance is implemented.

Context and Remoting

A review of the core concepts and channel architecture of Remoting in .NET. Covers Messages, Message Sinks, Proxies, Dispatchers, and extensibility and Context Attributes.

Deployment

Extending the previous module on Assemblies, this module shows how .NET addresses “DLL Hell” and other (former) miseries of application deployment.

Reflection

Explores the mechanism in .NET by which components can be inspected, even at runtime, to obtain complete information about them from the metadata stored as a part of the component.

Security

A review of the key features of the security model in .NET, including permissions, security administration and cryptography.

ADO.NET

ADO.NET

Introduces the core concepts and architecture of ADO.NET, including the ADO.NET object model, the System.Data namespace, the DataSet, and data views.

ASP.NET

ASP.NET

Introduces ASP.NET as a compiled environment for producing dynamic Web pages using the .NET Framework.

ASP.NET for Programmers

ASP.NET is one of the major advancements in the .NET Framework as it allows you to program Web sites in the familiar event-driven style instead of using finite state machine-like techniques. In the talk we give a bottom-up explanation of ASP.NET, showing how the high-level programming model is built on top of the low-level IHTTPRequest handler using page compilation.

Introduction to ASP .NET

Presented at SIGCSE 2003.

C++

Managed C++

An introduction to the extensions to the C++ language that allows the creation of managed code that targets the Common Language Runtime.

Visual Basic

Visual Basic .NET

Microsoft’s most popular Rapid Application Deployment tool is now a fully-fledged, industrial strength, object-oriented language thanks to .NET.

Windows Forms

Programming Windows client applications now combines the GUI power of the Win32 API and MFC with the visual programming style of Visual Basic.

Visual C#

C#

A review of key features of the new language in the context of component-oriented systems.

Intermediate Topics in C#

Presented at SIGCSE 2003.

Visual J#

Visual J# .NET: An Overview

Presented at SIGCSE 2003.

Web Services

Web Services Overview

A Web service is nothing more than a URL-addressable resource that programmatically returns information to clients who want to use it. .NET allows the creation of Web services in minutes without programming any of the “plumbing” code.

Web Technologies

Client-Side Technologies

An introduction to key client-side technologies that are fully exploited in the .NET environment including dynamic HTML and XML.

HTTP

Introduces the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and reviews HTTP support in .NET.

SOAP

A look at the Simple Object Access Protocol for serializing objects using XML and how this protocol is supported in .NET.

Windows XP Embedded

Embedded Enabling Features In Windows XP Embedded SP1

PowerPoint show presented at Embedded DevCon, October 2002.

Introduction to Windows XP Embedded Studio Tools

PowerPoint show presented at Embedded DevCon, October 2002.

Smaller Footprints And Shorter Boot Times With Windows XP Embedded

PowerPoint show presented at Embedded DevCon, October 2002.

Windows CE .NET

Microsoft Windows CE .NET, the successor to Windows CE 3.0, combines an advanced, real-time embedded operating system with the most powerful tools for rapidly creating the next generation of smart, connected, and small-footprint devices. The three primary tenets of Windows CE .NET 4.2 are to provide developers with increased productivity, a solid foundation, and innovative solutions.

This brief PowerPoint show includes notes.

XML

XML

An emerging standard for data interchange is baked into the .NET platform so thoroughly that developers won’t actually have to learn XML in order to use it to create powerful distributed applications.
