ASP.NET Distributed Data Applications (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)

The book is a voyage of exploration through almost all aspects of building ASP.NET applications that handle data and work across the Internet (or other HTTP networks, such as local Intranets). It takes a practical approach to building task-specific components, Web pages and Web applications based on a server running ASP.NET. The book focusses on n-tier architecture design and the way it can be coded, using SQL Server as a data source and simple Web server hardware.

The ASP.NET code in this book is presented in VB.NET, while client-side code is presented in JavaScript. A C# version of the code is also available for download from the Wrox website along with the VB.NET.

This book will cover:

The new .NET philosophy for managing relational and XML data

The techniques you need to make this philosophy work in the real world

Solid, n-tier architecture design

Using the .NET data management classes to access and update a data store

Maintaining data integrity by efficiently resolving concurrency errors

Techniques for building reusable, task-specific data tier components

How to design applications to exploit many different kinds of client device


From the Publisher
ASP.NET is a huge advance from previous incarnations of ASP, with one of its goals being pure HTML output that achieves maximum cross-browser
compatibility. The server-side event architecture tends to engender this approach, but amid the first flush of excitement it's often forgotten
that there's still a place for rich clients, and handling data in a multitude of places. Distributed data-driven applications aren't new,
but the range of possibilities and ease of development have both increased with the introduction of .NET.

This book concentrates on the use of ASP.NET for building applications for Internet or Intranet use, and looking at the possibilities that rich
clients brings to both application design and a better user experience. There often appears to be confusion over how the new .NET data
management and page-processing models fit into the overall distributed application architecture, how it changes this, and how it provides
exciting new opportunities. So we spend some time exploring the whole architecture and design issue, and see how it can be addressed in
different ways.
