I can usually find a gripe about just about everything, but I've had no luck this time around. This has been really good reading - clear, concise, rich in content - I just wish I had this the first time I went through the ECMA Specs :-)
If there's anything I would have liked more info on, it would have to be the "Securing Against Harmful Assemblies" section of Ch. 4. If the rest of the developer community is anything like me, permissions, evidence, policies and grants are fairly new concepts so they are worth exploring a bit more. Also, I am not sure if this is done elsewhere in the book, but I believe that discussing the manner in which the security framework is implemented (COMCodeAccessSecurityEngine.cpp?) would be very helpful. (There you go, I finally squeezed a mini-gripe in :-) Thanks for an excellent job, Cristian On Thu, 5 Sep 2002 13:49:37 -0700, David Stutz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >For those who are interested, the good folk at O'Reilly have posted two >new "beta" draft chapters of our "Shared Source CLI Essentials" book. >They are Chapter 1, which covers overall rationale for the CLI component >model, and Chapter 4, which covers how assemblies are loaded in Rotor. >We hope that these will help folks understand more about Rotor. > > http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/sscliess/chapter/index.html > >As always, Ted, Geoff, and I welcome comments and suggestions.
