P ractical .NET for Financial Markets was born because we were convinced no focused literature existed for people involved in application/product development in financial markets using .NET. Although a lot of .NET-related material is available, most often it is not relevant for developers in the finance domain. The finance domain poses some interesting issues and challenges. Reliability, accuracy, and performance are tested to the hilt. Given the number of professionals worldwide who are engaged in implementing solutions using Microsoft technologies as well as the impending changes that .NET will bring about in all future applications, this book will be of considerable interest to a lot of readers. While the same concepts can be extrapolated to various types of markets, we have kept our discussion restricted to equities markets because most readers are familiar with them and because the level of technology absorption in equities markets is quite high when compared to other markets. Strictly speaking, this book is for those who want to understand the nuances of financial appli- tions and the implementation of technologies in financial markets using .NET. Solution providers for financial markets in general and equities markets in particular will find this book exceptionally useful.A table of contents is not available for this title.
