Inside Microsoft Windows NT Internet Development (Microsoft Programming Series) [Paperback]

Ronan Sorensen (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1998 | Series: Microsoft Programming Series

Inside The Active Server Platform examines the complex issues involved in building business applications on and for this set of technologies and explains why Active Server greatly simplifies their development. The book-and-CD set focuses on the synergy produced by combining Active Server Pages with Microsoft Transaction Server. (Microsoft Transaction Server is a component-based, application programming model for developing low-cost, distributed applications -- complete with the mission-critical transaction processing features normally found in high-end mainframe systems.) Content is reinforced by case study information drawn from the author's several large projects and clients. Major sections are devoted to Transaction Server and to Active Server Pages. Examples are drawn from a variety of development languages.

Inside The Active Server Platform topics include:
-- A compelling justification of the Active Server platform
-- Object technology, multi-tier client-server, and transaction processing
-- Active Server Pages, ActiveX "TM" server components, and integration with Commerce Server
-- Transaction Server and its environment, programming issues, and APIs
-- Building a sample Transaction Server application with Microsoft Visual C++ "RM", Visual Basic "RM" and Visual J++ "TM"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - bad reviews, January 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Microsoft Windows NT Internet Development (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)

At my firm, a very recognized eCommerce company, Mr. Sorensen's book has been widely read by our serious technologists. It's an advanced book, and is intended for advanced developers working on major projects - not beginning 'webmasters'...

I'm amazed by the clearly hostile review above. It does not correlate to our experiences. If you're an advanced developer in the Microsoft platform, or want to be, this is a very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for C++ programmers., June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Microsoft Windows NT Internet Development (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)

If you are a C++ programmer, this book definitely belongs on your shelf. It is certainly not light reading but is a must for the serious software engineer building internet systems for Microsoft Windows servers. You'll find yourself going back to this book for many years to come.

By A Customer

This review is from: Inside Microsoft Windows NT Internet Development (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)

This book explains alot of the inner workings and details for developing e-commerce with microsoft products. I loved the asp section and the section on building a web server. my only complaint is to update the book and maybe expand it for win2k.
