Customer Reviews

I wish it had been written sooner. It will get you started.

If you want to get started with MTS - buy this book, do the examples - and start dissecting the "Fitch and Mather" example from the Microsoft website. The examples in this book are incredibly easy yet still useful.

Excellent book

This book will give you real insight about MTS and its architecture. Excellent book that will take you from the ground to a level where you'll fell yourself to be an advanced programmer for distributed architecture. I personally think that this book is extremely useful for distributed exam of VB(MCSD). Go for it....

Straight to the point, but paints the big picture

This book is perfectly written for the working programmer (especially if you're working in the Microsoft universe!). Mr. Hillier clearly explains the purpose and current state of Transaction Server, and provides clear, useful coding examples showing appropriate uses for it. I can't recommend it highly enough. Congratulations to author, editor, and publisher for their public service.

A definite must have for you developer library

I strongly recommend this book to any developers that are planning on, or have already started writing any distributed apps with VB6 and MTS. The book includes clear and concise examples and many design techniques from which you may choose.The book also explains many advanced OO techniques and how they pertain to developing distributed apps. The book gives several different ways to implement a distributed app that is very helpful and allows the reader to choose what method is best for their situation.After reading and doing the examples you will have a strong understanding of how to write distributed apps with VB6 and MTS as well as knowledge of MSMQ and IIS as it pertains to writing distributed apps.A must have if you plan on writing Distributed Apps.

Excellent reference on MTS and VB6!

This book is a winner. It fills a big void when it comes to real world MTS-, VB6-, based distributed application development.I found myself not allways agreeing with his oo decisions or techniques but always respecting them. I got a lot out of this book, especially for the price. I recommend it to all who need guidance with these types of applications. I've read VB6 Business Objects, MTS & MSMQ, Developing ActiveX Components, Doing Objects, Mastering Series, etc, which are all great. However, this book fills a gap. Scot puts himself on the line with a real world architecture.Additionally, the MTS reference alone is worth the price.Great job!
