From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewWhat can you actually accomplish with .NET web applications that wouldn’t have been practical before? And what does it really take to build them? This book systematically answers the first question, then helps you discover the realities of .NET web development for yourself, hands-on.
The authors compare the “vision” of each leading category of web site before and after .NET: “online brochure” sites now updatable on the fly; highly customized product support sites; e-commerce sites built from integrated components; internal web services that simplify application integration; and conventional web applications that benefit from .NET’s powerful development efficiencies.
Next, writing for experienced developers, they walk through every aspect of .NET web development. These include ASP.NET Web Forms, page processing, and server controls; ADO.NET data providers, the DataSet class, and XML integration; the effective use of object remoting and SOAP clients; and interoperability utilizing WSDL and UDDI (with examples based on Apache SOAP and Jakarta Tomcat -- a very common scenario.
The book’s in-depth case study application isn’t just a travel agency (you’ve seen that example a zillion times), but a federation of travel agencies sharing resources via web services. In today’s era of deep inter-enterprise linkages, it’s exceptionally relevant. (Bill Camarda)
