Q1:	The .NET Framework seems incredibly complex and daunting. How should I go about learning it?
A1:	I wouldn't recommend that you attempt to learn the entire framework; I have no plans to do so, either. Instead, focus on areas of interest or research facets of the framework as the need arises. For instance, if security is very important to you, learn about System.Security. Attempting to learn everything you can about the framework may not be as productive as spending your time mastering user -interface design and general programming skills.
Q2:	Does an end user have to have the Common Language Runtime on his or her computer to run my .NET application?
A2:	Yes. In Hour 22, "Deploying a Solution," I discussed how to deploy a solution, as well as how to include the Common Language Runtime. If you know for a fact that your end user has the runtime, you can remove it from your setup, vastly reducing the size of your setup program.
