The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

Microsoft .NET is a set of Microsoft software technologies for Web Services. Microsoft .NET is made up of three core components:

  1. .NET building block services
  2. .NET device software for devices such as mobile phones, pagers, and so on
  3. .NET infrastructure, which includes: 
  • .NET Framework - the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and .NET Framework class libraries
  • Microsoft Visual Studio.NET: Visual Basic .NET, Visual C# .NET, Visual C++ .NET, Visual FoxPro, and so on
  • Servers called .NET Enterprise Servers
