Pro Service-Oriented Smart Clients with .NET 2.0 demonstrates how Smart Clients satisfy multiple purposes. First, you deploy a Smart Client application to a server and send your user base a URL. Then, when a user clicks the link, the server downloads the application to the end users machine and then runs it on the client, just like a desktop application.

This book satisfies growing demand for a professional resource on Smart Clients. This comprehensive book is unique because it touches all of the bases: agility, service orientation, testing intelligence, and even a definition of what the "smart" in Smart Client means.
