Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
"This book is about the Microsoft .NET architecture’s contribution to the automation of financial markets, particularly the equity market as it transitions from the T+3 environment to the T+1 environment. … The book should be of interest to equity application developers and other application developers interested in streamlining front office, middle office, and back office throughput and operations in industry. … it could be used as a textbook for a computer science applications course or a business course on modern and future financial markets." (Friedrich, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (4), April, 2008)

- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2006This text is excellent in what it sets out to do and five other reviewers have said so with 5 star ratings. I agree very much with the reviews of Ted Hrudz and Gulli Ellee, in particular - they are well said and spot on. I think I must make a few comments of my own, however. I have managed financial software projects in the last seven years and have experience in developing and implementing capital and money market securities software, and prior experience in implementing equity software, so I have some background and interest in this area.
First the positives: This books succeeds enormously at providing a very good introduction to equity markets and front and back office software development from a .NET development lead, architect or developer perspective. In less than 500 pages the authors manage to provide a very good and reasonably comprehensive/broad tutorial in several aspects of financials as well as .NET and the book makes reasonably easy reading for such technical subjects. Most of the relevant and interesting topics are covered or touched on. The reviewers I mention above itemize most of the .NET and financials topics covered so I will spare you the repetition.
The authors are obviously very knowledgeable in both the securities domain and the .NET architecture and development technologies and issues and convey their knowledge expertly. This book makes an excellent introduction (but ironically advanced/intermediate in several respects) to the domain concepts and requisite architectural/developmental .NET features. Having said that let me add that you will need more than this book if you seriously plan to undertake financial software development with .NET. You may need to supplement your knowledge in both areas with some of these books, depending what you already know or have been involved in:
Securities/Electronic Payments Domain: 1. Securities Operations: A Guide to Trade and Position Management by Michael Simmons; 2. Corporate Actions by Michael Simmons; 3. After the trade is made by David M. Weiss, Revised 2006 Edition; 4. How the US Securities Market Works by Hal McIntyre (2nd Edition); 5. Gobal Securities Operations by Jeremiah O'Connor; 6. Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners by Larry Harris; 7. An Introduction to Financial Technology by Roy S. Freedman. 8. You may also need to understand Secure Electronic Payment Systems (see texts by Weidong Kou, Mostafa Hashem Sherif)
Technology (.NET Framework, Visual Studio & SQL mainly) : Books by some of the best authors such as 1. Juval Lowy and Alex Ferrara (.NET 3.5, SOA/WCF, Web Services, Remoting, Messaging, Application Logging, Threading, Component-based/Distributed Architectures, Application Security Design, etc.); 2. Chris Sells (Windows Forms in VS 2005); 3. David Sceppa, Brian Noyes, Fabrice Marguerie or David Ratz(ADO.NET 2.0/3.5/Data Binding or LINQ); 4. Stephen Walther, Alessandro Gallo, Cristian Darie, Marco Bellinaso (ASP.NET 2.0/3.5 and AJAX); 4. Nick Rozanski (Software Systems Architecture); 6. Itzik Ben Gan (MS SQL 2005-8); 7. Secure Coding against hacker attacks using books by Gary McGraw/Billy Hoffman/Michael Howard such as 'The 19 Deadly Sins Of Software Security'; to explore such topics in greater detail.
I think the author could have added the equivalent VB.NET code for VB developers and architects. That is the main beef I have (and the book is a bit too expensive, buy it online for a rebate. It should have been paper back to reduce the price for readers) but I still thinks it deserves a 5-star ranking . Bravo to Samir Jayaswal and Yogesh Shetty, the authors!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2010I usually don't give reviews but I feel compelled to voice my opinion on this excellent piece of work! I've found that most if not all books attempting to cover software development as applied to the securities markets to be lacking in depth or either a total joke e.g. (C# Applied To The Financial Markets)! This book DEFINITELY departs far away from either of the two! I am an entry level dev working for a proprietary options trading firm and this book has been of tremendous help! I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a well written and explained piece of work on the subject of .NET development applied to the financial markets.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2006The book didn't describe every thing about finance. But, it show the things who working in the financial IT need know.
At the most time, IT-people always felt confused for some wording or some processes about the finance. These people need a lot of help to understand the basic domian-knowledge.
This book give these people for more "feelings" between IT-Technology and the financial domain-knowledge. When the programmer write the financial program, after they read this book, I believed that these programmers will have some deep vibrationin in their mind.
Of course, the financial experts didn't need read it. It is too shallow for them.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2010If you are looking for a book to learn .net, it is a very good bood, but, if are you looking for a book about serious programming at the stocks market, keep away from this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2008I have purchased several markets development books and this one beats them all. It has a fantastic overview of the markets, the language is awesome & the detailed instructions on how you can build your system ground up is fabulous. I'd recommend it to everyone from Beginner to a Pro - "A must buy !!"
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2006.NET has been assimilated by many of the key financial institutions to build trading applications. This book portrays the entire trading environment and issues related to building real-time applications for financial solutions. The level of depth in the C# code snippets is an immense source of information which not only applies to financial world but to a developer it has great value. The language used in the book is simple, concise and without drag. I will recommend this book to all programmers in .NET including people building financial applications. It is a must read book.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2007'Practical .NET for Financial Markets' by Samir Jayaswal is a very specialized book for all financial developers. Laid out over 9 chapters with 500+ pages of detail this is a wonderfully written reference for this niche market.
If you are a .NET developer in the financial industry you owe it to yourself to pick up this great resource!
***** RECOMMENDED
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2008For me, just beginning in this field, this book is a gem.
It has great explanations of the lingo/structure of the financial markets as well as useful code examples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hope the author releases a new updated edition soon!
This book is excellent, as well as an introduction into financial markets it also dives into multi threading, collections, networking, security and some other topics.
It would be great to see a newer edition of this book though.
