Product Description

Review

From the reviews:

"ASP.NET is Microsoft’s approach to developing dynamic and interactive Web-based applications. … it is for programmers or other interested people who want a breadth-first view of application design. … The authors do an excellent job and cover the material concisely and effectively. In conclusion, this book is for learning about enterprise automation with ASP.NET. I recommend it to intermediate-level readers who are interested in enterprise-level application design in .NET." (Rajani S. Sadasivam, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (4), April, 2008)

Product Description

Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design will help you derive maximum performance and reliability from the distributed applications you create with ASP.NET 2.0.

The book first looks at some of the non-functional requirements that impact the design of a distributed application. It then relates them to the servers and services available in the .NET 2.0 Framework. ASP.NET 2.0 is the central process for use in distributed .NET applications, and the book closely examines the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework and its hosting environment, Internet Information Server (IIS). The book looks at how ASP.NET 2.0 is used by different packages within .NET (like Web Services), and explores how it can be extended to meet your own custom requirements.

The second part of the book drills down and examines some of the common architectural challenges encountered when developing application designs. The book walks through the tiers of the .NET Framework, starting at the client level and exploring the internals of the page type, enhancements to ViewState, client script generation, and new out-of-band callbacks. At the middle tier, the book examines Web Services, Remoting, COM+, MSMQ, and mix and match communication options to suit your own requirements. This section wraps up by previewing Windows Communication Foundation, which aims to unify these technologies.

The third part of the book examines the data layer of your distributed applications. This includes enhancements to the Managed Providers in 2.0, the new transactional model, and a preview of usage guidelines for SQL Server 2005. By the books conclusion, you will be able to select with confidence the most appropriate design elements for your purposes, elegantly connecting them, and ensuring you get the very best from the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Jan 6 2006

By Aristotle "Aris" - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design (Hardcover)

This book really just talks a bit about how to access data via ASP.Net, a bit about the ins and outs of the internals of asp.net and some talk about the middle tier.

This book does not discuss anything about advanced application design. e.g. where should you store business logic? How do you design an asp.net application?

There are no "design" questions answered. Its really just a discussion of some topics in asp.net. I read the book over 1 week and have taken nothing from it. I have 4 years experience in systems development with 2 years in .Net. A book titled "Expert..Advanced Application Design" should be just that.....an expert discussion of advanced application design!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Title is misleading, Application Design NOT covered, Jan 18 2006

By Louis Feicht "lfeicht" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design (Hardcover)

The title of this book includes Advanced Application Design and ASP.NET as a distributed architecture. There are few pages that cover it in summary fashion. The book really should be titled An intermediate overview of .net programming. Out of the many books I own and have read on asp/asp.net/design (>100) etc. This is by far the most disappointing.

Examples of the differences between DataAdapters and DataReaders and when to use each do not belong in a book with this title. The majority of the information is beginning to intermediate at best and even that is not covered to a better extent than what I can find on any web site on .net.

I thought maybe I could glean some info from the SQL service data broker, but as often happens the authors can't even stay focused on the titles of their chapters. This chapter digresses into talk of XPATH and XQUERY. That and many other topics are better for free on the msdn web site.

I purchased based upon the title. Amazon should not sell this book under the current title and I'd like a refund of my money. IF zero stars were an option that's what I would give it.

3.0 out of 5 stars ASP.NET Architect book only, Nov 7 2006

By Elijah Li - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design (Hardcover)

This book is about how to configure your ASP.NET code in configuration page to utilize the system resource such as create connection string, disconnect, and clean up the connection resource after using it. It shows the inpact on your server when you did not use the resource properly--server spike up. The title of this book is misleading if you are looking for coding examples. It covered materials like when to use .Net Remote, COM+, Connection Pooling, and Web Services. This book should be titled as "Adanced Application Patterns and Resource Management". This book has no advanced application samples for those application developers and it is more for Senior Programmers/team leads who are responsible for server and system architects. This book is "good to have" but "not must have" book. I gave it a 3 stars because of its title does not match its contents. I hope this rating help you to find a book better suit for what you needed.
