Chapter 10. Building Managed Code

Philosophy: One of my biggest challenges is to keep my intellectual arteries sufficiently pliable to adapt to and accept inevitable change.

Once again, I start this chapter with some basic definitions. If you are familiar with the .NET Framework, you might want to skip this section or bear with me on this remedial review. If you're familiar with other Web service technologies, you might find this enlightening, or you might opt to skip this chapter altogether. I believe that all builders should be familiar with the basic blocks of the .NET Framework that I talk about here. This understanding will help in the move from classic Win32 (native) builds to managed code.
