Summary

There is more to the .NET Framework than has been articulated in this primer; it includes many useful APIs that have not even been mentioned here, for example, System.Media, System.Speech, and the Windows Identity Framework. There are also a number of very powerful APIs developed by Microsoft (and Microsoft Research) that are not (yet) officially part of the .NET Framework; for example, Reactive Extensions, Microsoft Solver Foundation, Windows Azure APIs, and the new .NET for Windows Store Apps APIs are worth looking into.

In the next chapter, we will provide an overview of the many capabilities and features of Microsoft SQL Server—Microsoft's Relational Database Management System.
