The focus is on key concepts rather than total coveragejust what the experienced programmer needs.Coverage of string, file I/O, and new support for XML introduces new important .NET APIs. Sections on building clientside applications with Windows Forms are followed by basic Web programming with ASP.NET. We liked the approach to ADO.NET offered here, which shows off some mustknow programming techniques (plus a grid example), but without drowning in detail with this complex set of classes.
