We went to Japan this May on a trip that spanned 50% of the country. I had done fair bit of reading on Japan - it's culture, people a little bit of history etc. We landed at Osaka Airport late in the evening. Osaka airport is built on an artificial island. Starting with the queues at the immigration counter, silent nature of Japanese people was in stark contrast with my fellow Indians - no offense meant! Compared to America, one of the best things I felt immediately after getting there was abundance of public transportation - both ground and rail.

There are two steps involved in mastering C#.NET – first imbibe the language elements of C#.NET and then use them to harness the power of .NET technology. Part I is about the Language Elements of C#, whereas Part II is about the Technology Skills of C#.NET. These books will help two categories of readers – those who wish to find out how good C#.NET programmers they are and those who wish to find out how good are the candidates who claim to know C#.NET. These books will help you test your skills in C# language as well as technology areas.

C programming language was instrumental in taking the art of programming to masses. More than 35 years later, Web Services are transforming the way we do programming, in an equally, if not more, dramatic manner. Procedural programming gave rise to Object Oriented Programming. With the spread of TCP/IP networking, Web Services now enable you to build software in truly distributed and reusable manner. In short, they represent libraries on the network.
