Customer Reviews

Great resource for COM/COM+ with .Net

I have to agree with Chung Yeung Choi's review. Look at Advanced .Net Remoting by Ingo Rammer for a good review of .Net Remoting, but for COM+/Enterprise Services, I have yet to see a better treatment! It may be because that is what my focus is these days (rather than .Net Remoting), but it really helped me get up to speed quickly on the issues/problems/advantages (he points to all of these -- excellent coverage!) of Enterprise Services.

Outstanding!

This is an outstanding book for anyone learning .Net Remoting. I have a background in Java remoting technology like RMI and EJB's but find the .Net remoting architecture to be a better model. The book is both comprehensive and easy to read. All of the book examples work. All I can say is that the coverage is outstanding!

Awesome book...a must have for every .Net collection.

This book is very well written for any level developer. The layout is very clear and easy to follow. Clear and organized examples. Walks you through latest techniques and abilities of the .Net platform using C#.

Great book, lots of details

This book offers a comprehensive look at distributed programming. It goes into exceptional detail regarding com+ among other things.I highly recommend this book.

A great book on this aspect of the .NET Framework

I've read that "Remoting is the unsung hero of .NET". This is a great book that introduces an aspect of the .NET Framework that is not yet widely understood. While this is not an in-depth reference on Remoting, neither is it a book for beginners. In the words of the author, this is a book "that leads the reader through a logical progression of topics while clarifying complex concepts."The first thing I liked about the book is that the obligatory introduction to the .NET Framework (and C#) really contained some valuable information--not just an overview for beginners. In my opinion, the introductory sections alone are worth the read.While the book is filled with sample code, the author stays with a simple example consistently throughout the book. There is no attempt to show real-world examples; but rather a simple example in real-world situations. An in-depth study of real-world remoting scenarios.This book truly provided me with a great head start on understanding and using .NET Remoting concepts.Many thanks to Tom Barnaby for a great book.
