In each chapter, you’ll build new applications, pick up essential .NET skills, and test your knowledge against handy exercises.

The Microsoft .NET platform is a godsend for application developers. .NET provides a comprehensive framework, with consistent tooling for web, mobile, and line-of-business applications, high-performance games, and massive distributed systems. A perfect blend of power and flexibility, its just-in-time compiler runs multiple languages, including C#, Visual Basic, and F#.

.NET in Action, Second Edition teaches you to build cross-platform applications and services on the .NET platform. It gives you the big picture, systematically presenting the features you need to ship high-quality apps, without bogging you down in low-level details.
