Product Description

Product Description
"This book is an invaluable resource for learning about MSMQ." --Peter Houston MSMQ Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ)--which is incorporated into the newest version of Windows NT--brings asynchronous transaction processing (TP) capabilities to the Windows platform for the first time. MSMQ combines the high performance and robustness of mainframe transaction processing with a flexibility of objects, an administrative ease-of-use, and an ability to scale. As such MSMQ is a key technology contributing to the growth of Internet commerce and intranet distributed processing. Whether you are a Windows programmer who is new to transaction processing or a UNIX programmer who wants to learn more about MSMQ, this book will introduce you to the topic and show you how to develop transaction-processing applications using the MSMQ technology. Designing Applications with MSMQ offers an overview of the general design of queued messaging applications and a discussion on how MSMQ can be used in two-tier, three-tier, Web, and component architecture applications.This book also provides a detailed description of MSMQ architecture, queue, and message properties, as well as a detailed description of how MSMQ interacts with other transaction technologies, such as MTS and SQL Server. A step-by-step tutorial shows you how to write MSMQ applications using COM components, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and the MSMQ API. In addition to the tutorial, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to transaction processing and develops a full-scale application using MSMQ that illustrates the technology's power and potential for this emergent field. 0201325810B04062001

1.0 out of 5 stars Rewrite of MSDN, 2 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I started using MSMQ in June by reading the help files available in MSDN. After a couple of weeks I wanted to go deeper with MSMQ and bought Alan Dickman's book. To my suprise he does not add any new information that is not available in the MSDN. If you have MSDN library, do not waste your money on this book, it's all there in the help files. Note: my book (ISBN: 0-201-32581-0, 2nd printing) only contained just over 300 pages, when this page says it contains 512.

There are only a couple of examples in the book and they are VERY easy.

A beginners book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview but somewhat lightweight, 15 April 1999
By A Customer
This book is primarly geared toward the VB folks. He addresses the C API but barely touches the COM C++ interface. Specifically, questions which are not resolved are 1.) Do I have to use smart pointers when I do not want to? 2.) How do you handle MSMQ Events with the C++? The examples given in VB do not extend to C++ and there is no clear way to go from registering MSMQEvent to the _DMSMQEventEvents implementation. I had to resort to the C API.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must have for all DNA application developers., 31 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Alan Dickman begins where Microsoft left off. This book is for any DNA application designer or developer that is required to have a comprehensive knowledge of the inner workings of MSMQ. Alan covers simple easy to understand samples for both the MSMQ C API and the MSMQ ActiveX objects. Alan also walks you through the architectural points of utilizing MSMQ in the enterprise from a developer's point of view. I would recommend this book to any Microsoft oriented developer.
