Synopsis
Practical .NET 2.0 Networking Projects demonstrates some of the key networking technologies that are being made easily accessible through .NET Framework 2.0. It discusses communication between wired machines and between networks and mobile devices. The book teaches you about the technologies by walking you through sample projects in a straightforward and direct way.
The book begins by discussing background theory so you'll get comfortable with the layout of the .NET Framework and Compact Framework from a networking perspective. Then you'll use the APIs within these frameworks to build a variety of cutting-edge networking applications that cover everything from Bluetooth and RFID communication to sockets programming and chat servers. You'll build working examples for each project, which you can also customize and use for your own purposes. The featured projects cover: Basic introduction to network programming in .NET 2.0 Sockets programming Serial communication Bluetooth and GPS Infrared networking to mobile devices RFID Table of Contents Sockets Programming Serial Communications Incorporating Fingerprint Recognition into Your .NET Application Infrared Programming Fun with RFID Interfacing with External Devices
Synopsis
Network communication is one of the fastest growing technology areas in today's industry. This book addresses the market demand of novice .NET programmers to learn about, and build, networked applications - a subject very often omitted from traditional computer programming books and only dealt with at a high level inaccessible to the majority of the market. This book rectifies that trend by bringing cutting-edge technologies such as GPS communication, Bluetooth and Radio Frequency ID (RFID) within reach of the mass-market. The .NET 2.0 Framework and .NET 2.0 Compact Framework provide a number of APIs for communicating through these technologies and this book demonstrates these in the form of a number of practical projects that readers can undertake to build their own network additions.
