Synopsis

Microsoft are promoting their Distributed interNet Architecture (DNA) as a platform for developing fully distributed applications, but it has taken a while to get the DNA message across. The difficulty was in trying to push DNA as a solution in itself, rather that pushing the ideas that make it good, i.e.:n-tier client/server applications~Client transparency~Distributed applications~Fully transactional~Fault tolerant~The core of DNA is the use of business objects in a middle tier of the application, and this is supported by two new technologies: Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), which is a component manager offering full transaction support; and Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ), which provides the fault-tolerance required in distributed application. Together, these make it simple to build into the DNA dream.

Review

If you're thinking of powering your next Web site with the latest in Microsoft Internet technologies, and you program in Visual Basic (VB), then Professional MTS and MSMQ with VB and ASP is for you. This fast-paced tutorial gives you a crash course in using Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and the new Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) Server, along with other Microsoft tools, for creating dynamic, commerce-enabled Web sites and Web-based applications. The authors provide a step-by-step guide to configuring and designing with VBScript, active server pages (ASPs) using transactions, and the new capabilities of message queuing (which permits systems to be designed with fault tolerance in mind.) Readable and to the point, this guide will likely be all you need for getting the basics of the best in designing Web sites using Microsoft's latest Web tools.

From the Publisher

This book gets straight down to basics, introducing the concept of DNA and showing it in action. It allows developers to grasp the whole structure of distributed and web-based applications, and then see how the various parts and built and how they interact. There will be a case study around which the book is organized, giving a logical progression through the principles and implementation of the design, development, and final result. This case study is a car retail showroom, where the availablability of cars can be checked, and order placed with the manufacturer
