PREFACE
We strongly believe that a title on migration to Microsoft .NET will benefit a large number of developers and IT strategists. Microsoft .NET has introduced a totally new programming model for developers.
Microsoft .NET is built on the basis of the Internet as an operating system. Microsoft has studied and discovered the difficulties of programming in traditional languages such as Visual Basic and Visual C++ and the difficulties of COM programming. Microsoft .NET technology offers scalability, performance improvements, ease of application deployment, security and interoperability across various programming languages. Issues such as registration of COM components and reference counting are not present in Microsoft .NET applications.
This book covers the basic concepts of migration to .NET technologies. It details various programming languages (such as VB.NET, Managed VC++ and ASP.NET) and key differences, as well as advantages, over their predecessors. The book details the steps involved in migration. It has a rich set of examples and case studies to cover important aspects of migration like Pre-migration and Post-migration. The last section of the book covers issues related to component migration and interoperability.
The book has been divided into the following sections:
* Chapter 1—.NET Framework concepts and migration methodology in general
* Chapters 2 to 4—topics related to migration to Visual Basic .NET
* Chapters 5 to 7—topics related to ASP to ASP.NET migration
* Chapters 8 and 9—topics related to Visual C++ .NET migration
* Chapters 10 and 11—topics like COM interoperability and exposing COM components as Web services
* Chapters 12 to 14—case study for illustrating the migration concepts
Audience for This Book
The book targets people in different levels of the IT industry who are involved in strategizing and performing migration activities. The examples and case studies are targeted towards intermediate and advanced programmers and developers of Visual Basic, Visual C++ and ASP applications.
The book targets readers working on Microsoft .NET. It specifically targets developers, professionals and managers who are interested in migrating applications written in Visual Basic, Visual C++ and ASP to the Microsoft .NET platform.
It is meant for audiences who have a knowledge of OOP concepts, understanding of Visual Basic, Visual C++, ASP application architecture and the Microsoft .NET platform and who have over 3 years of working experience.
The book will provide the foundation for programmers and developers belonging to the target audience to leverage the power of Microsoft .NET. It will also equip programmers with the necessary details to migrate and reap the benefits of the Microsoft .NET world and showcase the myriad ways to exploit the benefits of the Microsoft .NET environment. The book covers a broad range of topics that will comprehensively explain emerging trends in migration of these applications.
The concepts are backed with relevant and well-illustrated examples and case studies. All the topics listed will be treated with appropriate importance targeting VB, VC++ and ASP developers and, most importantly, Microsoft .NET users.
