(PRWEB) July 22, 2004 -- Software developers who work with the Microsoft .NET platform have a new resource for internationalization guidance. Part 1 of "Globalization Handbook for the Microsoft .NET Platform" by internationalization expert Bill Hall has been made available by MultiLingual Computing, Inc., for purchase and download at http://www.multilingual.com/monographs

In the first part of "Globalization Handbook for the Microsoft .NET Platform," Hall examines the requirements for making an application ready for the world and explains in detail how to accomplish this using the .NET platform. He traces a programming example from analysis to solution, introduces important classes such as CultureInfo, formatting and testing methods and basic localization. Code is also included.

This monograph will be published in PDF format in three parts, each of which will be available separately for download. Hall also plans to make updates available in the same format as necessary.

Parts 2 (expected to be available in autumn 2004) and 3 will build on the material in Part 1 with detailed examinations of other classes, a "Formatting Fundamentals" chapter, extended examples and an important section on "Localization Basics" that will cover the mechanics of setting up a localization structure for various forms of .NET programs and projects.

This is the first in a series of monographs to be published by MultiLingual Press, an imprint of MultiLingual Computing, Inc.
