Professional Visual Basic 6 Distributed Objects: Amazon.de: Rockford Lhotka: Englische Bücher

Amazon.co.uk

Professional Visual Basic 6 Distributed Objects is an intelligent guide to component design for anyone who builds Visual Basic (VB)components. This is an authoritative guide to creating state-of-the-art scalable distributed components with Visual Basic 6.0 and it takes full advantage of Microsoft's Distributed inter Net Architecture (DNA)platform.

The heart of this text is the author's design philosophy for building distributed components with VB, which he calls his Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture (CSLA). The author shows how to design objects that take full advantage of some of the latest Microsoft features and tools.(The examples in this book use objects for a project manager application, which are enhanced chapter by chapter.)

By following this prescription outlined here, VB developers can create scalable objects that support transactions (with MTS), data binding (with OLE DB and ADO) and even message-based event delivery across multiple servers on the enterprise (with MSMQ). The author also shows how the same objects can be used with ASPs on the Web. Clearly, the CSLA has a lot of potential for building objects that scale well and meet the needs of today's enterprise.

Professional Visual Basic 6 Distributed Objects is written in a no-nonsense style, with short paragraphs and practical examples used throughout. The author's experience with design for VB enterprise-level lets him show that today's Visual Basic is ready to take on the enterprise on the Microsoft platform. For enterprise development, both on and off the Web, this guide makes a strong case for a place on the bookshelf of anyone who's serious about VB development. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com

Excellent Resource 5. April 2000

Von Howard Solomon

This book is an excellent follow-up to VB6 Business Objects (which I also highly recommend).

Filled with very practical advice and examples as to the hows & whys of developing n-tier applications.

The best book about distributed apps with VB and COM/MTS 14. M�rz 2000

Von Martin Cordova

Lhotka goes straight to the important matter about this topic: solid arquitecture, UI and data centered business objects, and passing object state across networks. He does not waste time with no-sense XML/CSS, Interdev and other useless "fashionable" stuff. He takes care of the real critical issues when developing distributed apps. I have been programming distributed apps for the last 3 years using several techniques & technologies (DCOM, MTS, TCP-IP, LU62, etc) and I really appreciate this book; it's full of substance. I use a very different approach than the one proposed by Lhotka (because I use direct Winsock connections with a custom AppServer), but I found this book very usefull to compare against my particular framework and to extract some nice ideas. If I were to program with DCOM/MTS/MSMQ, I would use Lhotka's framework and this book would be a definitive guide. It's full of very intelligent and practical concepts. Don't waste your money & time in other books about this topic. This is the one you need.

No XML, No UML... I feel like a lot is missing there ! 1. M�rz 2000

A lot of tricky-tip things, but the "Road To Hell" is really not here... I do Distributed Objects in VB, since about 2 years, and well... there is a lot of important things missing in this book. It's a recent book (1999) but there is nothing about XML, wanna talk about state ? how can you forget about XML ? it's amazing to see people trying to use UDT instead. MTS & COM+ are building bricks for the future in VB. I get less then 20 pages on such a big subject ! Definitevely not enough for a book that's supposed to teach me how to be a able to write Distributed Objects on a profesional level. Too much is missing, say "scalable" ?, talking about "performance" ? Not a single word on stored procedures, no a single word about the problems of deadlocks. What about versioning problems? Design patterns? UML Analysis? DCOM security ? DCOM configuration ? This book can have some nice tips like the Simple Provider stuff on chapter 5 but I really feel It is missing some essential points on "Distributed Objects" !
