I highly recommend this ebook for anyone who likes a hands-on, dive-right-in approach to
learning. The author has much experience in helping others to pick up new material on
Microsoft technologies and he has a way of simplifying that process. In his words, you are
sunk if you can't deploy your application at the end of the day. You will find his
instructions easy to follow and the document is filled with screen shots that speaks a
thousand words and makes the whole learning process easy.
ClickOnce technology from Microsoft helps deployment by delivering your products into the
hands of your users. It's an idea that Microsoft has been playing around for several years
and they tried to simulate it with some Smart Client idea in Visual Studio. But I guess
they really get serious about it when they introduced ClickOnce.
The author first run through the steps to publish the application and installing it on the
user's desktop through ClickOnce then he talks about the backend action that goes on during
the installation. He also bring readers through the many configuration setting available to
users. I guess this sequence just naturally appeals to some learners cos we get to see for
ourselves how it all works and then comes the understanding part.
If you want to run fast with ClickOnce, I recommend you run with this ebook.
