Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: This Book is excellent. It goes from introduction level to the expertise level using simple and linear examples without the cumbersome of innecesary stuff. It explaines and covers all the aspects and capacities of Net Remoting (including not supported issues like "context matters", I expect more information on those matters from the author in new books).

Thanks Ingo.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-have on .NET remoting!
Review: This books does not need a wordy review. It suffices to say that it was written for a wide range of audience---from novice to expert. The material is presented in an amazingly clear and understandable way for any reader.

The best book on .NET Remoting by far!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: .NET Remoting Demystified
Review: This has to be one of the best .NET books I have read. It goes way beyond the documentation and explains Remoting in a very clear and concise manner. Ingo Rammer points out pros/cons of the various remoting techniques and offers solutions/suggestions to common problems. He also explains the advanced details in a way that even I could understand ;-). I would recommend this book to anyone who plans on building applications with .NET.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Readable and essential
Review: This is a well-written, well organized and extremely useful book. If you are new to .NET remoting don't let the "advanced" in the title scare you off - you must understand at least the material in the first half of this book (chapters 1 to 5) to use remoting sensibly.

I sat down with this book, read the first half and selected later chapters in about two hours, and all the issues that had cropped up in my first attempt to use remoting were resolved.

A later remoting problem triggered by installation of .NET framework version 1.1 was resolved by information on the author's website.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very few real world examples
Review: This is actually a good book, however, it approaches the subject with an extremely hypothetical view. Lack of real world examples has made reading this book a real bore.

The book on the other hand offers in-depth information regarding the "behind the scenes" work of .NET remoting.

Final verdict: Good value for money, but do not expect any code to work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Buy/Read
Review: This is one of best books I have ever read. I coded each and every sample in this book to fully understand the concepts. This is a best book for starting a new development with .NET Remoting and to clear any questions we have. Have a happy coding

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Convulted, Mistakes, and Too Light
Review: This is one of the worst .NET books in my collection on any subject.

Here's why:

1. Riddled with mistakes. Lots of the code does not work, and lots of the XML contains blatant syntactical errors. That certainly lowers my trust of a book, making me question the accuracy of the content.

2. No decent examples. Although it's nice to get the "internals" of how .NET works, I'd preferred that the author spent more time on developing reasonable examples.

3. Hard to follow. There's far too much jumping from one topic to another (and back to the fact that there are few examples). Many topics have only marginal coverage, like using Windows Services with .NET Remoting.

Overall, a disappointment. I have found the .NET documentation and online resources to be better than this book. I'd recommend you stay away from this book. I'm confused by the other reviews for this book, as the readers must be interested in something that I am not.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This is the best book concerning remoting, which i know. All principals are here thoroughly explainded and demonstrated by example programms. I recomend it from beginners to advanced users.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best choice to learn the basics and inners of .NET Remot
Review: This is the best book to start with the basics of .NET Remoting. It has lots of very clear examples that will help you to understand all you need to program distributed applications using the .NET framework and the .NET remoting. When you are able to develop your own programs Ingo Rammer shows you the inners of .NET remoting to allow you to know how the things are working behind the scenes. Really, the best choice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This isn't a reference book. Nor is it a re-hash of the MSDN documentation. Instead, it's a very thorough tutorial. Prior .NET Remoting knowledge isn't necessary to understand this book. However, at least, intermediate experience with the .NET Framework is assumed. All of the examples are in C#, but there's also a VB.NET version of this book.
