Aweful disjointed and in VBOctober 5, 2003 Simon Clark(UK) 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
Beware! This book has all examples in VB only and nowhere on the cover does it tel you this. If your a c# programmer then you can translate, but when trying to understand this complex topic you dont really want to have tro translate as well. The examples in the book are hard to follow and the most basic .net remoting example doesnt work. I have to find an example on the web and use this with what i had read to get it to work.
I tried really hard with this one because it is so expensive but I took it back in the end. My advice buy something else.
The best book on .NETMay 2, 2003 Mr. B. T. Clackson(Bedford United Kingdom) 12 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is really outstanding. The author set out to write the best tutorial for learning .NET distributed application technologies and concepts, and he's succeeded. If like me you have followed the Microsoft Press Self-paced Training Kit for exam 70-310, which covers similar ground but in a less illuminating way, you will be grateful for a book that like this that is entirely focused on the real problems of designing robust high performance distributed applications.
It helps you assess which technologies you should use where, focusing particularly on server side components. The Case Studies also contain a lot of useful ideas that I haven't seen, and it gives judicious caveats about technologies that are less useful or subject to not widely known limitations.
