Professional VB.NET Transacti Ons

Form so many books, this is best I have ever seen. And if you need to know why the transaction happens, then go the Juval Lowy's book.

this books offers very good insight to the introducing the beginner to transactionsThere are 10 chapters in this book of which I have covered 9 chapters in 2 dayschapter 5 the nwtshipper's applications breaks when the web service attempts to create a shippercomponent during and add method callIn chapter 6 the customer entry. the famouse cauliflowers aka com+ objects are never activated/spins during a transaction.Maybe because they are deactivated or not using pooling.I am on the last chapter 10 works but lacks alot of instructions on how to set it up,but after 2 days of hacking i finally got it to workand when it worked, it was like magic..This must be the only book I have in my possession which demonstrations transactions in .netI would like to give this book 5 stars but since the poor setupinstructions in chapter 10 I have to give it a 4 stars instead.Authors.. Good job!!!

Real Life Examples That Work - And MoreThe book was well written and easy to follow. The descriptions and examples of code were the best and most concise of any I have read in .NET. But the best part, was that it also covered the material in the four previous Beginning VB/ASP books I have read, but in a more understandable and memorable way.

This is a gem of a book! Ever get frustrated looking for a book that has a decent discussion on transactions? So many have half a dozen pages and a kiddie's transaction example about a bank that only ever has one customer that only ever does one transaction & of course it succeeds: great! This is different - it's real! It's a book all about real-transactions and the things you need to know that support them - heaps of juicy nitty-gritty details. It's great to get into a meaty discussion about distributed architecture, but where the fun really starts is in designing transactional .NET DLL' s.Apart from all the great information, another thing that comes across in the book is just how lucky we are as VB developer's to be using .NET - the power is awesome!
