Product Description
Product Description
Make the jump to distributed application programming using the .NET Framework—and introduce a new level of performance, scalability, and security to your network and enterprise applications. Expert .NET developer Matthew MacDonald shares proven techniques for fully exploiting .NET Remoting, XML Web services, and other .NET technologies and integrating them into your real-world solutions. MacDonald digs into key .NET building blocks and architectural issues, explaining which features and designs will best serve your customized distributed application projects—and when to use them. Case studies with full code examples illustrate these practical techniques in action, as well as demonstrating their benefits and tradeoffs. Learn how to: • Cross application boundaries with .NET Remoting, XML Web services, and Message Queuing • Create responsive clients and scalable servers with multithreading • Model your distributed application with interfaces, facades, and factories • Use COM+ services such as object pooling, JIT activation, and transactions • Craft a data transfer plan with Microsoft ADO.NET—without concurrency errors • Help secure your code end to end—from the transport level to the presentation tier • Learn ways to avert—or unclog—performance bottlenecks in your applications • Automate deployment using self-updating applications and XML Web services • Master stateless programming and other best practices for distributed applications

The best book on .NET,
By
This review is from: Microsoft® .NET Distributed Applications: Integrating XML Web Services and .NET Remoting (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
This is really outstanding. The author set out to write the best tutorial for learning .NET distributed application technologies and concepts, and he's succeeded. If like me you have followed the Microsoft Press Self-paced Training Kit for exam 70-310, which covers similar ground but in a less illuminating way, you will be grateful for a book that like this that is entirely focused on the real problems of designing robust high performance distributed applications.It helps you assess which technologies you should use where, focusing particularly on server side components. The Case Studies also contain a lot of useful ideas that I haven't seen, and it gives judicious caveats about technologies that are less useful or subject to not widely known limitations.

Aweful disjointed and in VB,
By
This review is from: Microsoft® .NET Distributed Applications: Integrating XML Web Services and .NET Remoting (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
Beware! This book has all examples in VB only and nowhere on the cover does it tel you this. If your a c# programmer then you can translate, but when trying to understand this complex topic you dont really want to have tro translate as well.The examples in the book are hard to follow and the most basic .net remoting example doesnt work. I have to find an example on the web and use this with what i had read to get it to work. I tried really hard with this one because it is so expensive but I took it back in the end.

THE Book on Architecture with .NET,
By Mark - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft® .NET Distributed Applications: Integrating XML Web Services and .NET Remoting (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
I'm only halfway through this one, and I decided I just HAD to write a review. In a world that has 200-page books written by five authors (see my IIS6 Handbook review), a comprehensive 700 page book that speaks with a single voice is a rare find. I've found a few other good single-author books (like Balena's book on VB), but this is far and away the best book for learning enterprise architecture, best design practices & patterns, and advanced techniques like multithreading.Here's just one example: I've lost track of how many times I've read about how to use COM+ services in .NET without an explanation of why I should (or shouldn't)!! This book not only explains brilliantly how to use COM+, it explains when you should and shouldn't use it, and the limitations you'll encounter. We also get similar treatment of threading issues (for 2 whole chapters), caching/optimization, security (in only one chapter, but it's a solid overview). There's also a chapter just on design that talks in practical terms about facades, factories and other patterns. I've read some of this stuff in other books, but all I got was theory and contrived examples. In this book I see how to apply these patterns in the real world. That alone would have won me over. Basically, this book is FULL of great material for anyone who knows the code but want to move up. It also includes three full case studies, which I haven't seen anywhere else. I'm not a big fan of case studies, but these do show the author's multi-layered approach in detail. Overall, great! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful:

Informative as well as suprisingly useful for 70-310,
By ACD - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft® .NET Distributed Applications: Integrating XML Web Services and .NET Remoting (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
Having recently passed 70-310, I found this book to be exceedingly helpful in cementing certain .NET distributed concepts for the exam-- meanwhile, related MCAD/MCSD study guides like those from Sybex and Microsoft (?!) came up short...
Chapters 1-9 of this book provided clear explanations and working examples for 70% of the content I encountered on my recent exam, while topics covered equally well in Chapters 11-15 accounted for the remaining 30%. Even Windows Services can be found about mid-way through Chapter 7. If you are keen on moving into distributed .NET programming and/or preparing for 70-310 (like me), I would highly recommend this book. I would not have earned my MCAD credential without it... 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Good Microsoft N-tier Architecture Text,
By W. Hazard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Microsoft® .NET Distributed Applications: Integrating XML Web Services and .NET Remoting (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)
Solid information for those interested in building N-tier architectures in a Microsoft world. Great stuff on how to build business objects -- I haven't found much on Microsoft object caching except in this book. Sadly, MS hasn't gone as deep as JBoss, BroadVision or similar products but this book helps fill the gap.
