Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're thinking of powering your next Web site with the latest in Microsoft Internet technologies, and you program in Visual Basic (VB), then Professional MTS and MSMQ with VB and ASP is for you. This fast-paced tutorial gives you a crash course in using Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and the new Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) Server, along with other Microsoft tools, for creating dynamic, commerce-enabled Web sites and Web-based applications. The authors provide a step-by-step guide to configuring and designing with VBScript, active server pages (ASPs) using transactions, and the new capabilities of message queuing (which permits systems to be designed with fault tolerance in mind.) Readable and to the point, this guide will likely be all you need for getting the basics of the best in designing Web sites using Microsoft's latest Web tools. --Jake Bond

Book Description
Microsoft are promoting their Distributed interNet Architecture (DNA) as a platform for developing fully distributed applications, but they don't seem to be having to much success at getting DNA adopted. The fault lies in trying to push DNA as a solution in itself, rather that pushing the ideas that make it good, i.e.:n-tier client/server applications~Client transparency~Distributed applications~Fully transactional~Fault tolerant~The core of DNA is the use of business objects in a middle tier of the application, and this is supported by two new technologies: Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), which is a component manager offering full transaction support; and Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ), which provides the fault-tolerance required in distributed application. Together, these make it simple to build into the DNA dream.

3.0 out of 5 stars An intro to MTS and MSMQ at the most, 6 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This book gives you an idea why you would want to use MTS and MSMQ, and how to use it. However, it doesn't discuss the intricacies of managing and designing MTS and MSMQ servers. It's a good intro, but definitely not your last book on MTS and MSMQ.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lacking in depth, poorly edited, 26 Aug 1999
By A Customer
In addition to the extremely poor editing that seems to be common to many WROX books, I find that this book lacks information in many basic areas in MTS and MSMQ, for example there is not a single entry in the index regarding the shared property manager. Most other books I have seen that even survey MTS at least mention the SPM. It also has no information regarding regarding performance issues (that I can find, there is no entry in the index).

Some chapters are OK, but overall the depth is lacking.

I would consider this a fair introduction, but "professional" it is not. I would give it a better review if it was called "Beginning".

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have...
This book should be considered mandatory reading for all internet developers using Microsoft technologies.

I would love to see the equivalent using Java.

2.0 out of 5 stars I don't understand how it can possibly get a 4 stars
For every topic, it just outline the subject without going to the detail. You can't possibly get anything out of this book.
