Customer Reviews

Just what I needed

If you're looking to get a solid background and understanding on the subject matter, this book does a very good job of covering the bases (not just the basics). What's better is that it comes in a size (# of pages) that one can actually hope to digest. Well done.

Excellent Advanced Insight

This book provides excellent insight into the operation of .Net and .Net with COM. It is for someone who wants to understand how it works rather than how to make it work ie. more for a designer than a coder. This info is a lot more difficult to obtain than how to use the various framework classes.It also lets you know where the performance issues are going to cause problem.

great book to start with

One month after the release of .Net,this book will put you at the right path to buildingservicedComponents using C#.it covers most of the com+ services + a brief of the new features in Com+ 1.5 and IIS 6.0this book talk (as it should!) only about Com+ with C#no asp/ado/bla... technologies are included.It is great for programmers who woked with com+ with C++/VB.

Clear and relevant explanation of component support in .NET

The path from COM+ components to the equivalent services in .NET is often misunderstood, yet vital to building a large transactional system using Microsoft's flagship development platform. This book does an excellent job of taking the reader through the .NET serviced component support with reference to the existing COM+ Services. From an introductory chapter covering the .NET architecture, the author takes a journey through transactions, role-based security, events, object pooling and queued components. The book is both concise and readable with well-worked examples: not one of those weighty tomes that fill your shelf with a rehash of existing documentation! My biggest criticism is the lack of depth in the chapter on transactions, which lets the book down slightly; a longer discussion in place of the appendix introducing C# would have been appreciated. Nevertheless, this book is well worth the money.

Excellent coverage of an essential topic.

This is a "second level" book. You had best already be pretty familiar with .NET and C#, because coverage of these topics is not at an introductory level. The COM+ coverage is similarly paced, but has a lot more introductory material.But that is one of the reasons I like this book. I don't NEED another introduction to .NET or to C#, and there are other COM+ books as well. What this book does very well is show how COM+ and .NET go together, how, in fact, they must go together if you plan to do enterprise level development.Beyer is a very good writer, at least to my taste. He covers a lot of material with not a lot of words, and he does it with great clarity. He doesn't need 1200 pages and huge margins..NET and COM+ are partner technologies and one does not replace the other, so this book covers a very important topic and does it very well.
