Product Description

Book Description
Packed with practical solutions to your enterprise development problems, this book will take your application development to a new level. You will be able to apply the lessons you learn from the book to your own applications without first having to wade through reams of theory.


During the book, we use a tool developed by an author (The full source code is made available to readers, with an appendix devoted to its full description), which uses the structure of a relational database to build a rich object layer. This abstracts a lot of the complexity of building a rich application object model and makes it possible for application architects and programmers to create a powerful, highly reusable object model with a simple desktop application.


The book begins by taking a look at the overall design of the enterprise application and then moves on to show how the enterprise can be accessed from desktop and mobile applications, as well as over the web using ASP.NET. Web Services also play a big part by exposing the functionality of the underlying business objects, as well as being used for authentication amongst other things. Of course, security is discussed where particular issues arise, as well as being covered in more depth in its own chapter. Once we have the enterprise application up and running, we look at administration, hosting, and management.



From the Publisher
Packed with practical solutions to your enterprise development problems, you will apply the lessons learned here to your own applications without having to sift through reams of theory.


People interested in this would be:


Developing and selling off-the-shelf software products for use as line-of-business (or to an extent productivity) applications

People who customize either their own organization's off-the-shelf products or another organization's off-the-shelf products for deployment as a line-of-business application

Developing line-of-business applications internally


Intermediate in level, this book will help beginners and advanced developers alike to appreciate the scope and requirements inherent in building enterprise applications.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of potential but let down by a lack of testing., 23 May 2002
By A Customer
When I first saw this book advertised and reviewed it appeared just the thing to jump start my VB6 to .NET conversion. The goals of the book are ambitious and appear to offer a rich enterprise model for the taking. I was also interested in the free object builder that comes packaged with the book.

All went well until Chapter 4, there were a number of typo's and minor programming issues but nothing too incomprehensible. Chapter 4 begins to build the Windows application from the object builder code and the previously built and novel application browser. However at this point the object builder begins to create faulty code and the build errors become "fully object oriented". If you can get over this, further problems are in store when building and then using the EntityScroller. Needless to say at this point the cover shot strap line "Written and tested for final release of .NET v1.0" began to look at bit of a joke.

After a number of emails to support at Wrox they admitted that the code in the book was flawed and suggested I used the downloadable source code which didn't match the book.

My recommendation would be to leave this book alone for the next six months. By then they should be into the Wrox third edition which may come somewhere closer to being correct.

5.0 out of 5 stars A .Net Tour d'Force - Bravo!, 15 Mar 2002
At last! Wrox have produced a 'slim-line' book, jam packed with golden nuggets from beginning to end. This book covers the whole spectrum of .Net Enterprise development without waffle.

It is pitched an Intermediate level, which is exactly what I need right now. I intend to recreate every stage of the case study applicaion and make use of the very good 'Wrox Business Object Builder'. When I'm through (in about 2 weeks or so), I just know that I will be a decent VB.Net Programmer.

I already have 6 .Net books, some packed with masses of theory, others containing '101 things to do with a datagrid' and other piece-meal examples. This book is quite different, a complete blueprint for building an Enterprise application. It covers all tiers, from database to client and targets all manner of thick and thin clients, including PDA's and Mobile phones.

This book is clearly the best of my .Net collection. I would only expect it to be bettered if the same team produced a follow-up!

This book is so good, I am also seriously considering buying its c# sibbling in an attempt to become .Net bi-lingual!

Bravo Boys! Lets have some more like this!
