This book is about the CLR and about the general types that interact closely with the CLR. So the content of this book is applicable to all programmers writing applications or components that target the CLR. Many other good books exist that cover specific application types such as Web Services, Web Forms/MVC, Windows Presentation Foundation, etc. These other books will give you an excellent start at helping you build your application. I tend to think of these application-specific books as helping you
learn from the top down because they concentrate on the application type and not on the development platform. In this book, I’ll offer information that will help you learn from the bottom up. After reading this book and an application-specific book, you should be able to easily and proficiently build any kind of application you desire.
