Make the most of Microsoft's COM+, DNA, and Windows 2000-hands-on!

This is the only book you need to master Windows 2000 COM+ and Distributed interNet Applications (DNA) programming. Robert J. Oberg combines a crystal-clear review of COM+ theory with practical hands-on coding techniques-delivering the in-depth expertise you need for enterprise development!

Oberg starts by introducing COM+ and Microsoft's DNA architecture: the forest and the trees. Discover how to build a testbed you can use for your COM+/DNA application development; then refresh yourself on the key COM/DCOM concepts that underlie COM+ development, including interfaces, classes, apartments, automation, error processing and debugging. Next, master the key COM+ techniques associated with advanced multi-tier development-hands-on, through building your own application

You'll find detailed coverage of COM+ security in Windows 2000 environments; a "survival guide" of key database programming techniques; practical information on creating Web applications using Active Server Pages; and much more. The book, far more than most COM/DCOM/COM+ books, will make you self-sufficient in the most important practical technologies associated withWindows DNA.
