.NET本质论第一卷：公共语言运行库（影印版）

    对于我自己的产品，Don竟然教了我所不知道的东西。我坚信，你也一定能从中受益匪浅。本书为需要充分利用Microsoft.NET强大功能的开发人员提供了最重要的内容。这本书深刻地论述了．NET Framework(．NET框架)的精髓：公共语言运行库[Common Language Runtime(CLR)]。Box和Sells揭示了CLR的内部工作方式——CLR设计背后的基本原理，它能够解决的问题，以及CLR编程中类型的角色——并且，在帮助读者在对CLR工作机制有更为完整的理解的同时，指导他们如何利用.NET Framework构建更好的应用程序。

    Don Box 是微软公司的架构师，主要研究方向为下一代Web服务协议和程序设计模型。Don是软件集成技术方而后权威。在上世纪90年代，他花费大量时间为CLR积极筹建了组件对象模型社团。他是简单对象协议规范1.1版本的缔造者之一，同时他还是畅销技术专著《Essential COM》、《Effective COM》和《Essential MXL》的作者及合著者。

    这本书里包含了很多实用细节，以及那些只有Don Box才能提供的专家级建议。主要包括： ● CLR演变 ● .NET Framework的程序集 ● CLR类型系统 ● 用类型编程 ● 对象和值 ● 方法 ● 显式方法调用 ● 应用程度域 ● 安全性 ● 互操作性 本书是Microsoft.NET公共语言运行库的权威指南。
