Synopsis

An expert's unbiased appraisal of Microsoft's object technologies and how they can work for your enterprise

In COM and DCOM, internationally recognized object-technology expert Roger Sessions offers a lucid, unbiased appraisal of Microsoft's distributed objects strategy.

  • Creating highly efficient object pools
  • Using the Microsoft Transaction Server, SQL Server, and the Microsoft Message Queue Server (Falcon) to develop unbelievably robust, multi-tier applications without mainframes
  • Integrating legacy database systems into your system design
  • Using Wolfpack to create highly available clusters of workstations that outperform mainframes at a fraction of their cost
  • Security issues for components
  • 10 Rules for distributed component programming
