C# is Microsoft's hot new language for the .NET platform. This book covers everything C# programmers need to know to create network applications, a task traditionally done in C++. It explores the basics of network programming, including IP and TCP protocols, and moves on to targeted C# instruction, including using the C# network programming classes in the .NET framework. Topics covered include low-level network programming (such as sockets and multithreading), as well as network application layer programming for email, web-based, and security applications. Specific examples show how to create applications that use network protocols such as SNMP, SMTP, and HTTP. The book also has advanced coverage of incorporating an Active Directory server database and .NET remoting in a network application. Author Richard Blum has been a network and systems administrator for 13 years for the Department of Defense and is the author of four books on networking topics.

Many companies are facing problems with Windows development using traditional Windows tools such as Visual Studio. When they write applications, even just "single platform" applications for Windows, they often have to account for differences between different Windows versions, which adds hassle to development and maintenance. Qt works no matter the Windows versions. This book provides all the information needed to become a professional Qt developer. The book also covers cross platform GUI programming--programmers can be working on Windows, Linux, or Mac and the book will work for them. This is useful for commercial companies that use Qt, and for companies that are evaluating Qt. It will also be valuable to the vast number of open source developers who already use Qt since no other book of comparable quality or comprehensiveness is available. This book teaches Qt's idioms and how to use Qt to best advantage. The book is organized into four parts. The first part introduces the C++ necessary for the effective use of Qt. The second part covers basic Qt, starting with some very short examples, and quickly building up to a complete Graphical User Interface program.The second part provides coverage of key Qt features including signals. The third and fourth parts cover more advanced and specialized material.

(Michael Kofler) did the hard work of taking the documentation and sifting through it to bring the useful parts together clearly and concisely. Definitive indeed.
