Dewey Decimal Number: 005.44769 EAN: 9781861004451 ISBN: 1861004451 Label: WROX Press Ltd Manufacturer: WROX Press Ltd Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 1000 Publication Date: 2000-09 Publisher: WROX Press Ltd Studio: WROX Press Ltd Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Weighing in at nearly 1,000 pages, Professional Windows DNA is a comprehensive guide to creating state-of-the-art Windows enterprise applications. Written for the more experienced VB or C++ programmer, this guide shows you best practices for creating scaleable, multitiered Web applications that make use of the latest and greatest in Microsoft tools and standards, including SOAP and XML. The tools-based focus of this tutorial is what sets it apart. While the authors provide background on such important standards as COM+ for building middle-tier components, the book is anchored by real hands-on examples (and plenty of screen shots where appropriate) on using tools like Visual Basic and SQL Server 2000. First the book leads you through a discussion of the latest developments and tools from Microsoft (like COM+, SQL Server 2000, and SOAP for communicating on distributed systems). There's a thorough tour of COM+, which gives DNA its middle-tier prowess. You'll learn COM+ configuration, security, and deployment, as well as how to use COM+ transactions and asynchronous message processing with built-in MS Message Queue services. Later, there's a concise introduction to ADO database programming, as well as the new support for XML in SQL Server 2000. Useful debugging advice will help you out with server-side components, which can be notoriously hard to troubleshoot. Final sections present a fairly substantial case study for an airline reservation system built with middle-tier components and ASPs for a Web interface. (There is also an e-commerce application for renting construction equipment.) The book also walks you through implementing a back-end database, middle-tier COM+ components and a browser-based front end built with ASP. At least until the new Microsoft .NET Framework arrives, any system architect or developer can rely on this title to get a sense of how to build effective software for the enterprise. Professional Windows DNA is a thorough and up-to-date guidebook on the constantly shifting terrain of Microsoft tools and technologies. It's filled with pretty much everything you need to know to develop scaleable Web applications with Visual Basic and Windows 2000. --Richard Dragan Average Rating:
 Rating: - Sets the scene for doing Windows 2000 DNA development.This is more an introduction to Windows 2000 DNA development and as such, gives a good descripton of how the pieces fit in. It's not as detailed in some areas as I'd like but then the book would be massive if it did. Rating: - Nice overview, disappointing depth in placesThis book covers all the 2000 bases for DNA development, but fails in places to give enough technical depth to provide a comfortable understanding. Also, some may feel a little upset at finding text from previous WROX books rehashed in this book (especially from the Business Objects book, but stick with the stuff, because it has been updated in places. All in all a nice introduction, so perhaps the tile should be more "Beginners" rather than Professional?
