Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionThis book will inspire you with a range of ideas on how data can be used to drive Web applications, and how that data can be most effectively utilized at each level of the design. Inefficient data use leads to the sort of slow, unresponsive Web applications that nobody enjoys using. By making good use of both server and client-side code, we can solve these problems. This book will arm you with the techniques you need to build Web applications that fly.
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

Rating: - Good buy
ASP.NET Distributed Data Applications, is an excellent book for learning ASP.NET database programming. At the moment I am on chapter 8 all the examples which I downloaded from wrox, all work. The book is very detailed with many methods and ideas of contructing a database web application. its not a book for beginners. A person with good basic asp.net or vb.net knowledge will get most from this book. Excellent buy and worth the money.

The Good
There are a lot of things to like about this book if your main interest is in data driven applications that require many remote devices to be able to update data on a central server, possibly after being disconnected for some period of time. I've personally skirted such projects several times in my ASP3 consulting days, but thankfully never had to build one, mainly because at that time the infrastructure was not there to support such applications within the budgets ...

Rating: - A solid �how to� book with vital perspective
If you're seeking to build a data-driven ASP.NET application that provides any kind of a user experience beyond the classic approach of posting the page back to the server every time you select or edit data, this book is a MUST READ. It shows how to maximize the user experience and client responsiveness under whatever set of design constraints your client-side scenario imposes-from basic HTML-enabled browsers to IE 4.0 and IE 5.0, with or without the distributable .NET framework, and small-screen HTML ...

Rating: - 4 stars, but...
This book is practical and well written. If you want to write the type of app they cover, you'll find all the nitty-gritty details here. I deducted a star because the book goes into too much detail; it gets boring. They should have assumed a sharper reader and picked up the pace.
BUT... Do you really want to build the type of app they spend the most time on? This would be an app that makes heavy use of XML and DOM within IE (no discussion of XML and DOM in other browsers) to simulate a true ... Read More
Rating: - More than a mouthful..
If you're anything like me, you've spent the past couple of months dredging over hundreds of pages worth of material online... and like most, you've probably said to yourself, "How does it all fit together and how do I use .NET effectively to build a distributed data application?"
This is the book that, for me at least, closed the gap. I had remained dormant on a project for days due to important design decisions that I needed to make BEFORE I started programming. Unfortunately, I didn't have the ... Read More
