Clear and Concise

Some more advanced books on remoting made me feel like I was drowning; especially for a developer going into remoting for the first time. This book really breaks the concepts down through clear examples and reasons these concepts are there to begin with. He goes into a decent amounnt of detail on the concepts that leaves me feeling like I am learning on every page. I am extremely happy that I bought this book.

Enjoyable and thorough

A very enjoyable and thorough book for those who need to use remoting in their development projects - if you want to know about remoting for VB.NET then this is the book for you. The book covers all the topics that you'll need to employ remoting. Synchronous and asynchronous remoting are covered as is a chapter explaining custom sinks and how to add them into the remoting process (something that I've yet to find explained in other books in as clear and concise a manner). Debugging and error handling is also covered, something that isn't given much space in the Microsoft documentation and this chapter will prove invaluable for any developers. Now if the publishers would only do a C# version of this book :-).
