Book Description

Series: Pro-Developer | Publication Date: November 16, 2002

While many books cover specific technical issues, they very rarely provide architectural guidance, which is especially helpful with adoption of Microsoft .NET. This title educates developers on just these topics. The expert authors—two members of the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET product team—present technologies within the context of their most appropriate use, and discuss design tradeoffs for large-scale applications. They also offer advanced techniques for performance tuning, testing, and implementation.

Architectural Guidance - Delivers the advanced guidance about architecture and tradeoffs that veteran developers need, especially since .NET allows developers to choose and use far more tools and technologies
Applied focus - Discusses advanced technologies and real-world consequences of design decisions in conjunction with pervasive issues such as application performance, scalability, and security
Expert Authors - Written by two Microsoft Visual Basic team members who are uniquely qualified to show how best to use Visual Basic .NET in developing enterprise applications

3.0 out of 5 stars More codes sample preferred, March 8, 2003

Patrick Yong "patrickyong" (KL, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Designing Enterprise Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)

This is quite a good introduction to new enterprise capabilities of the Visual Basic.NET. However I would say this book is more of a white paper on enterprise application design with VB.NET than a tutorial on how to get things done with codes work thru.
If you are looking for codes, this isn't the book for you. It is more suitable for system analyst and architect on evaluating the .NET platform as their enterprise application platform.
If you had read thru the whole .NET documentation on coding conventions, architecture and best practices, don't buy this book. A lot of materials are taken from the MSDN documentation and wrap it in a more understandable format.

3.0 out of 5 stars Documents in paperback, June 20, 2003

Rex (Vancouver) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Designing Enterprise Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Pro-Developer) (Paperback)

This is a good book if you don't feeling like opening the .NET documentation on your computer. It's got lots of tables and two full appendices copied from the docs in here. Good if reading the monitor hurts your eyes. The first couple chapters have a few tips on architecture that might be useful if you're a beginner to programming. The rest of the book's chapters give intros to the basic project templates like creating a Windows Services, running the debugger, etc. Also covers security issue areas like the most efficient way to concantenate strings.
In conclusion, a good intro book if you're brand spanking new to .NET.
