Rating: - Juval Lowy is wonderful
This is a must have book. Although it doesn't talk about component oriented programming, it gives lots of details of .net internals.
If you are mid-senior level programmer you must have this book.
Rating: - A Software Engineering Foundation
Mr. Lowy does far more than provide a clear and concise explanation of component-oriented programming through disciplined software engineering practices. He simplifies developing enterprise software by narrowing the numerous design choices. Through code examples he demonstrates using the .NET framework in a manner that promotes defensive coding methods and loose-coupled interfaces. Programming .NET Components provides a knowledge base to build upon and a reference point for evaluating other author's material. The IDesign document of coding practices from his web site is extremely useful for reviewing the recommendations of Mr. Lowy and for extending with one's own lessons-learned when developing software.
Rating: - Deep & Clear
The adulations from the previous reviewers here are all well earned. In my opinion, this is well beyond just a great book; it's a must-have! The writing is very clear without being verbose; and it's depth is better than anything I've seen anywhere on .NET. The author not only provides many new insights, but refines and corrects existing ones found elsewhere, even correcting some guidelines from MSDN. For instance he advises in favor of using "lock" to make methods thread-safe, which MSDN does not advise. Given any doubt, I'd trust this author over MSDN.
I just wish the book was longer, and covered more relevent topics. It's so good that I want more!
