Book Description

Expert's Voice in .NET October 13, 2005

Expert ASP.NET Advanced Application Design will help you to derive the maximum performance and reliability from the ASP.NET 2.0 websites you create. Our aim is to show you how your choices and structural decision at the design stage can have a massive impact on the performance and life-span of the application that you eventually code. These insights are equally valid whether you’re writing an application to run on a single machine or across a distributed network.
In the second half of the book we drill-down to examine some of the common architectural challenges that face us all as we develop our application designs. We step through the tiers of the .NET Framework examining what each technology does and how it can be used to best effect, both individually and in co-operation with surrounding tiers.
By the end of this book you will be able to confidently select the most appropriate design elements for your requirements and elegantly interconnect them in a way that ensures you get the very best from the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews:

"ASP.NET is Microsoft’s approach to developing dynamic and interactive Web-based applications. … it is for programmers or other interested people who want a breadth-first view of application design. … The authors do an excellent job and cover the material concisely and effectively. In conclusion, this book is for learning about enterprise automation with ASP.NET. I recommend it to intermediate-level readers who are interested in enterprise-level application design in .NET." (Rajani S. Sadasivam, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (4), April, 2008)

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 6, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Hardcover)
This book really just talks a bit about how to access data via ASP.Net, a bit about the ins and outs of the internals of asp.net and some talk about the middle tier.

This book does not discuss anything about advanced application design. e.g. where should you store business logic? How do you design an asp.net application?

There are no "design" questions answered. Its really just a discussion of some topics in asp.net. I read the book over 1 week and have taken nothing from it. I have 4 years experience in systems development with 2 years in .Net. A book titled "Expert..Advanced Application Design" should be just that.....an expert discussion of advanced application design!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Title is misleading, Application Design NOT covered, January 18, 2006
By 
Louis Feicht "lfeicht" (Silverton, OR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Hardcover)
The title of this book includes Advanced Application Design and ASP.NET as a distributed architecture. There are few pages that cover it in summary fashion. The book really should be titled An intermediate overview of .net programming. Out of the many books I own and have read on asp/asp.net/design (>100) etc. This is by far the most disappointing.

Examples of the differences between DataAdapters and DataReaders and when to use each do not belong in a book with this title. The majority of the information is beginning to intermediate at best and even that is not covered to a better extent than what I can find on any web site on .net.

I thought maybe I could glean some info from the SQL service data broker, but as often happens the authors can't even stay focused on the titles of their chapters. This chapter digresses into talk of XPATH and XQUERY. That and many other topics are better for free on the msdn web site.

I purchased based upon the title. Amazon should not sell this book under the current title and I'd like a refund of my money. IF zero stars were an option that's what I would give it.

3.0 out of 5 stars ASP.NET Architect book only, November 7, 2006
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Expert ASP.NET 2.0 Advanced Application Design (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Hardcover)
This book is about how to configure your ASP.NET code in configuration page to utilize the system resource such as create connection string, disconnect, and clean up the connection resource after using it. It shows the inpact on your server when you did not use the resource properly--server spike up. The title of this book is misleading if you are looking for coding examples. It covered materials like when to use .Net Remote, COM+, Connection Pooling, and Web Services. This book should be titled as "Adanced Application Patterns and Resource Management". This book has no advanced application samples for those application developers and it is more for Senior Programmers/team leads who are responsible for server and system architects. This book is "good to have" but "not must have" book. I gave it a 3 stars because of its title does not match its contents. I hope this rating help you to find a book better suit for what you needed.
