A good first book about scalable applications

This book covers all the process to make a scalable application in .net world. It explains all about software and hardware issues. It is written in a easy English and the examples are in VB.net (I had preferred in C#). It covers lots of things in .net: objects, Enterprise Library, COM+, SOA, SQL Server, IIS, Clustering and NLB, W2000 and W2003 server... At the beginning of the chapters it introduces a little theory about the content, and later it goes to develop in .net. The language chosen for the examples and not going too deeply in some issues, like SOA, is just what i can say bad about it. And perhaps it shouldn't have been titled as 2.0. I miss that they haven't talk about some 2.0 features and develop in a 1.1 way. I should definitely recommend it.

Fine book

A 4 stars book. I give 5 because the 1st reader gave only 2 stars to bring it up to 4 stars :)

A good book to have.

A realize early that the book has potential. The content of the chapters are of high quality, even if I as a developer sometimes wanted more of the technical stuff (who doesn't ;-)?)But since the goal for the book is to focus on the whole picture and ties the hardware and the software design together in an easy understandable way I can highly recommend this book.I especially like the chapters about databases and the web service that described how to use the WSE kit from Microsoft in an easy manner. Thanks guys for the book!

Very good overview of designing scalable .net enterprise app

This is a very good overview on how to design scalable .net enterprise applications.The book covers most aspects concerned. We get coverage of how to choose the operating system for each layer in a scalable application. We further get input on how to choose the right cluster architecture, database and storage design, application design (including a thorough overview of web services design).The fact that Sten Sundblad has written the foreword witnesses the quality and importance of this book.The first 8 chapters are dedicated to theory. In the ninth (and last) chapter we also get to follow some use cases from UML modeling to finished code. In between we get info about how to set up the application environment and choosing storage design. Focus is always on scalability design, something many developers might need to spend more time on.For me at least, this has been very interesting and educational. Hopefully you will fell the same.
