Description of ASP.NET Distributed Data Applications :
The book is a voyage of exploration through almost all aspects of building ASP.NET applications that handle data and work across the Internet (or other HTTP networks, such as local Intranets). It takes a practical approach to building task-specific components, Web pages and Web applications based on a server running ASP.NET. The book focusses on n-tier architecture design and the way it can be coded, using SQL Server as a data source and simple Web server hardware. / The ASP.NET code in this book is presented in VB.NET, while client-side code is presented in JavaScript. A C# version of the code is also available for download from the Wrox website along with the VB.NET. / This book will cover: / * The new .NET philosophy for managing relational and XML data / * The techniques you need to make this philosophy work in the real world / * Solid, n-tier architecture design / * Using the .NET data management classes to access and update a data store / * Maintaining data integrity by efficiently resolving concurrency errors / * Techniques for building reusable, task-specific data tier components / * How to design applications to exploit many different kinds of client device
