Welcome to Mastering C# .NET Database Programming! As you might already know, .NET is poised to become the hot platform for the next wave of technology deployment. .NET's strength is that it is built from the ground up to be used in a distributed environment-in other words, an environment that consists of computers and devices connected via a network.

Note:
The focus of this book is how you write C# programs that interact with a database. C# uses ADO.NET to interact with a database; ADO.NET is the successor to ADO. In this book, you'll learn the details of interacting with a SQL Server database. SQL Server is Microsoft's premier database software.
Microsoft has pledged its commitment and resources to making .NET a pervasive component of life in our technological society-ignore .NET at your own peril. The bottom line is you need to learn .NET if you want to remain competitive in today's-and tomorrow's-marketplace.
In a nutshell, .NET is a completely new framework for writing many types of applications. The applications you can write using .NET include Windows applications and Web-based applications. You can use .NET to develop systems composed of interconnected services that communicate with each other over the Internet.
In addition, you can use .NET to create applications that run on devices such as handheld computers and cellular phones. Although other languages allow you to develop such applications, .NET was designed with the interconnected network in mind.
