Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Professional Visual Basic 6 Distributed Objects is an intelligent guide to component design for anyone who builds Visual Basic (VB)components. This is an authoritative guide to creating state-of-the-art scalable distributed components with Visual Basic 6.0 and it takes full advantage of Microsoft's Distributed inter Net Architecture (DNA)platform.

The heart of this text is the author's design philosophy for building distributed components with VB, which he calls his Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture (CSLA). The author shows how to design objects that take full advantage of some of the latest Microsoft features and tools.(The examples in this book use objects for a project manager application, which are enhanced chapter by chapter.)

By following this prescription outlined here, VB developers can create scalable objects that support transactions (with MTS), data binding (with OLE DB and ADO) and even message-based event delivery across multiple servers on the enterprise (with MSMQ). The author also shows how the same objects can be used with ASPs on the Web. Clearly, the CSLA has a lot of potential for building objects that scale well and meet the needs of today's enterprise.

Professional Visual Basic 6 Distributed Objects is written in a no-nonsense style, with short paragraphs and practical examples used throughout. The author's experience with design for VB enterprise-level lets him show that today's Visual Basic is ready to take on the enterprise on the Microsoft platform. For enterprise development, both on and off the Web, this guide makes a strong case for a place on the bookshelf of anyone who's serious about VB development. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com

Book Description
Visual Basic is the leading Windows development tool with 3-4 million licenses sold.

Many VB developers face the challenge of building scalable applications using distributed COM objects in Visual Basic 6. There are many books which describe n-tier architecture and also object-oriented programming, but this book is about merging the best capabilities of the Object-Oriented (OO) approach with your system architecture. It does this with Rocky Lhotka's 'distributed object' technique.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book finishes off a few loose ends from last book., 16 Feb 2000
By A Customer
Rockford's first book VB6 Business Objects was brilliant. This book tidies up a few loose ends, namely how to have n-level's of objects and be able to pass their state around the network. Chapters 1 and 2 summarise the first book (although you really need to read the first one to fully understand). Chapters 3 and 4 are the meat. Unfortunately the code in chapter 3 does not work out of the book - get the latest source code from his web site via Wrox. Other chapters touch on MSMQ, how to make your business objects bind to your datasources and writing your own load balancing application. Its a good book and I have been harsh on the score mainly because the code in chapter 3 was wrong (which is always annoying). This made it harder to work through the new code I downloaded as there is no explanation of the changes. If you bought the first book and liked it you've got to buy this one really.
