Pro .NET 1.1 Remoting, Reflection, and Threading

When reading the title of this book, you might ask yourself “Why did they put remoting, reflection, and threading together in one book?” The answer might not seem obvious at first, but after reading this introduction you should understand why these three technologies belong in a developer’s toolkit and in a single book. These three technologies share the following benefits: • Flexibility: Today’s business needs demand that applications have the capability to grow with the business. All three of these technologies bring that flexibility to the table in a variety of ways. • Power: Although .NET has brought about a highly powerful development platform by itself, the inclusion of these three core technologies gives .NET developers the ability to create powerful solutions with minimal effort. • Ease of Use: Flexibility and power are great features to have, but they don’t mean a- thing if they come at the price of complex APIs and increased development time.
