An outstanding book.
The first three chapters gives you a brief intro to essential knowledge about what components is. I missed a references section though (other books treat the topic of components in general in more depth, and I suspect the author should have referenced a few of those).


The rest of the book is an excellent introduction to writing components using .NET and C#. What is special is the selection of code snippets. They are very short, but are targeted at showing the point, and only that.


This is one of the few books you can read from the first to the last page without doing some coding on the side to understand the contents. On top of that the writing is extremely fluent, clear and pedagogically constructed. At times there are even a bit of well placed humor.


I own around 20 books on .NET and C#. This is easily the best of them all.
