Featured Customer Reviews  Very useful, highly recommended!,
May 30, 2005
#1. It covers most of important things in architecture design in enterprise development.
#2. It is easy to read. Easy to understand. To the point and a efficient learning tool.
#3. It is very accurate. With picky eyes, I have not found any inaccuracies so far. (Technology advancement will make some comments out-of-date, but that would be another story).
#4. You do not have to use web service or remoting for this book to be greatly helpful.
#5. It appears that the author knows every corner of distributed system design to a great depth.
Last comment/advice to Microsoft - Microsoft should invest more on this kind of quality books if it wants drag more IT projects on .Net and to defeat the competing platforms.
I recommend this book to IT professionals. 5 stars of course.
Informative as well as suprisingly useful for 70-310,
November 30, 2004 Having recently passed 70-310, I found this book to be exceedingly helpful in cementing certain .NET distributed concepts for the exam-- meanwhile, related MCAD/MCSD study guides like those from Sybex and Microsoft (?!) came up short...
Chapters 1-9 of this book provided clear explanations and working examples for 70% of the content I encountered on my recent exam, while topics covered equally well in Chapters 11-15 accounted for the remaining 30%. Even Windows Services can be found about mid-way through Chapter 7.
If you are keen on moving into distributed .NET programming and/or preparing for 70-310 (like me), I would highly recommend this book. I would not have earned my MCAD credential without it...Good Microsoft N-tier Architecture Text,
November 26, 2004 Solid information for those interested in building N-tier architectures in a Microsoft world. Great stuff on how to build business objects -- I haven't found much on Microsoft object caching except in this book. Sadly, MS hasn't gone as deep as JBoss, BroadVision or similar products but this book helps fill the gap.Excelent Book for Planning a System,
August 26, 2004 This book won't tell you every single thing about .Net Remoting, Web Services, Com+ or Message Queueing, but since it gives you a lot of info on all those techs and a lot of others it's the perfect book for people who plan on creating Distributed Applications.
I have read it full now and it helped me a LOT in my work. I work as an application developer at a bank and I'm supposed to do the company workflow system. It has to be very scalable so I needed to build a distributed architecture. This book helped me building this architecture and getting it approved by the board.
Great Book!Great survey of distributed apps,
July 05, 2004 The author has a real gift for explaining the details of the diverse technologies ms offers for creating distributed apps. An excellent book.
