Microsoft Technologies
.NET Platform: The next big overhaul to Microsoft’s technologies that will bring enterprise distributed computing to the next level by fully integrating the Internet into the development platform. This will allow interaction between any machine, on any platform, and on any device.

Visual Basic.NET: The update to this popular visual programming language will offer greater Web functionality, more sophisticated object-oriented language features, links to Microsoft’s new common runtime, and a new interface.

ASP.NET: A programming framework (formerly known as Active Server Pages) for building powerful Web-based enterprise applications; can be programmed using VB.NET or C#.

C#: Microsoft’s new truly object-oriented programming language that builds on the strengths of C++ and the ease of Visual Basic; promises to give Sun’s Java a run for its money.
Customer Review: Great for Entry Level Developers
This book is great for beginners, but it lacks depth. It provides a lot of examples for creating pages, but my experience is that background information is important. I would like to have seen more information on Master Page inheritance. This concept is ideal for standardizing the UI and establishing consistency throughout the application. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good book, but I expected more detailed examples. Experienced developers may want to pass on this one.
Customer Review: Great! All you need to know to start with asp.net programming
I think this is a great book for entering ASP.NET programmming if you come from the old asp world. Buy Now!

“This book…gives EAI architects and developers the opportunity to learn directly from the authority on distributed computing, EAI, and CORBA.” -David S. Linthicum Chief Technology Officer, SAGA Software, Inc. In this book a CORBA pioneer provides proven, cost-effective techniques for integrating enterprise applications (including legacy applications) into modern, multiplatform systems. He also offers valuable advice and guidance on how to build new CORBA-based applications using the latest features of CORBA 3 . With the help of numerous case studies and examples, he provides detailed solutions for specific integration problems along with step-by-step guidance on: Using CORBA as the infrastructure for EAI Architecture principles for integrating the Web and back-end systems CORBA Component Model for component-based development Relationship of CORBA components to DCOM, JavaBeans, and Enterprise JavaBeans Using the essential CORBA services Object wrapping techniques for integrating legacy applications into multi-platform systems Building secure, multiplatform Web applications On the companion Web site at www wiley.com/compbooks/zahavi/ you’ll find: Articles on related topics Continually maintained ORB and integration server, vendor, and product comparisons A dynamic discussion group on architectural best practices
Customer Review: CORBA as an EAI-enabling technology
This book gives a very good overview of Enterprise Application Integration(EAI) and about the methods and the techniques for approaching EAI successfully. The main thing is about the role of CORBA as an EAI-enabling technology and the domains where EAI needs. The later chapters explains the latest additions in the evolving CORBA technology apart from some precious real world examples towards its goal. It is a very useful book for those who are to use CORBA as a viable integrating technology.
Customer Review: Wow! Finally a CORBA Book I can understand!
Excellent! Worth every penny. I especially liked the chapter on security… Buy Now!
