Pragmatic ADO.NET

ADO.NET is not ADO. This is the most important fact that this book tries to convey. Understanding ADO.NET is not just about how to get database data or how to update the database-;it requires an understanding of why it was built. ADO.NET takes a completely different approach in accessing databases than older Microsoft data access strategies. This is not your father's ADO.This book intends to be neither a reference nor an "internals" book of how ADO.NET works. It is geared toward helping day-to-day developers get their jobs done. This book intends to give clear advice on how to use ADO.NET. Intended Audience This book is squarely aimed at developers who have a basic understanding of .NET and of databases. It is intended to help day-to-day developers get their job done. It does not assume prior experience with ADO, though it does build somewhat on that knowledge if it exists.
