Designing for Scalability with Microsoft Windows DNA

Windows DNA is Microsoft's multiproduct solution for data portability,
multilanguage application development, and deployment of software on
heterogeneous networks. Designing for Scalability with Microsoft Windows DNA
explains Windows DNA completely, yet with a pedagogical style that's very
effective in getting across the essentials of this new and highly capable
assortment of technologies. The father-and-son authors have experience in
teaching the design of data-driven applications, and their experience is
obvious in these pages.

The Sundblads walk through the creation of a three-tiered application (or a
five-tiered one, if you break the business rules down a bit) that provides
access to a database. Their goal isn't so much the programming that's
involved (although they use Microsoft Transaction Server and COM+ a lot),
but instead the design of their application, which allows for maximum future
expansion. Their style is carefully paced, with a flowing discussion of the
decisions that need to be made at each point in the development process, the
reasons for deciding a certain way, and the means of implementing those
decisions. Code here exists very nicely alongside intelligent commentary.
After reading this book, you'll be able to design and build efficient,
scalable business applications by using Microsoft's latest data-access and
interface-building technologies. --David Wall

Topics covered: Rules and principles for designing and implementing
multitier business applications that rely on database access. Various
technologies come up in the discussion, including COM+, Active Data Objects
(ADO), Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), Dynamic HTML (DHTML), and
Extensible Markup Language (XML).


Book Info
Shows you how to develop component-based applications to manage user,
business, and data services and create components on the server side using
webclasses and on the client side using Dynamic HTML. Softcover. CD-ROM
included. DLC: Electronic data processing--Distributed processing.


From the Author
This book is definitely not an MTS or a COM+ tutorial. There are other books
for that, and we will be referring to several of them.

No, this book is targeting the new three-letter acronym NAG: need
architectural guidance. If it also contains good examples of how to code for
COM+ and MTS, which we think it does, you should see that as a bonus.

Although this book isn't a tutorial, we do take you through the design and
implementation of a portion of a sample application. As we step through the
design and implementation, you'll see the decisions we make, based on the
information we have at that stage, and how they affect scalability. We think
you'll find this approach realistic and helpful since our steps mimic those
of a real software project. We hope you'll enjoy reading this book as much
as we enjoyed writing it. We also hope that you'll get from it what we
wanted to give you: guidance in designing scalable Windows DNA solutions.
