Abstract
In this chapter, I have put C# and the .NET Framework in context. You have seen the two major components of the .NET Framework and how these are related to C#. You have explored the topic of assemblies and looked at the key features of the .NET platform and how they have been used to create a wide suite of technology building blocks that give .NET its wide-ranging features and functionality. Your next step is to start learning the basics of C#. Chapter 4 starts with the fundamentals common to every language and sets the foundation for the chapters that follow.
