He's been working at this (CSLA - Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture) since VB 6 and this is his very latest, customized for Visual Basic!

Rockford Lhotka started writing his Business Objects books in 1996, and over the years, hes become one of the worlds foremost authorities on building distributed object-oriented systems. The second edition of his industry-standard VB .NET Business Objects book not only addresses changes in .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005, but also reflects substantial enhancements and improvements to the CSLA .NET Framework and how it can be used to create enterprise-level .NET applications.
Expert VB 2005 Business Objects takes you from an opening discussion of logical architectures to detailed n-tier deployment options using the CSLA .NET Framework. Rockford provides enough understanding and detail for you to take this approach to your own projects, as many developers have already done.
Rockford travels the world discussing his ideas with other developers at professional conferences and local user groups, but you can benefit from his expertise anytime with this book. There are many solutions to developing distributed applications; why not learn about them from an expert with a universally accepted and respected framework?

Rating: - Not what I expected.
I an experienced .NET developer looking to take my skills to the next level through use of design patterns, and perhaps even more importantly, good ways to code business objects that use relational data. Since the title is "Expert VB 2005 Business Objects", I thought I'd hit the jackpot by finding this book... but it has just turned out to be mediocre so far.
I'm on page 113 and I probably won't finish reading this book. Instead of a methodology for the creation of business objects, ... Read More
Rating: - Poor writing style
This book seemed to jump around too much and did not flow with what he was talking about. Also, there are not really any good examples until the last couple chapters so it is difficult to follow what the auther is trying to get across.
Rating: - grammar
I think the book means well, but it needs a lot of editting. The problem? Bad grammar. I'll make up an example of bad grammar: Horses eat apples from trees so that their population can grow. Which population? Apples? Trees? Horses? Two of three? All of them? This type of poor grammar exists so much with this author.
Rating: - Muy buen libro
Muy buen libro avanzado sobre el manejo de arquitecturas, le dedica bastante a la teoria. A mi criterio le faltaria mas ejemplos, pero sin lugar a duda es una lectura obligada para quien apunte a realizar aplicaciones escalables.
Rating: - The best book I've read this year
If you are looking for a great deal of practical advice and a working sample on how to build a framework for your application I think you will get a great deal out of this book & the CSLA framework that it explains. I was really pleased with how this framework solves many of the problems that our company wants to solve in our new software design. Having read several articles and "patterns and practices" papers I still had more questions than answers until I read this book. I finally feel like I'm ... Read More
