C++/CLI Primer: For .NET Development
by Vivek RagunathanEnter a world of hardcore back-end, server-side enterprise programming on the . NET platform. This book presents some of the important aspects of the C++/CLI language that often become a barrier preventing programmers from exploring further. The C++/CLI Primer is a powerful but compact book that will guide you through that barrier. Many of today's complex transactions and enterprise applications count on C++/CLI.
