eBook Description
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).
