Latest Posts:Planning for Survivable Networks
Keep your network safe from security disasters with a dependable recovery strategy.
Companies are finally learning that a network disaster recovery plan is mandatory in these times, and they must be prepared to make difficult choices about network security. In the information-packed pages of this book, Annlee Hines shares her unique and diverse work experience. She explains that the first thing you need, whatever your business may be, is reliable information and an idea of what you need to protect, as well as what you are protecting it from. She then dives into a discussion of how much you can expect to spend depending on what kind of security your network requires. She also delves into addressing the variables that determine why your needs will not necessarily be the needs of your closest competitor.

Understanding COM+
Developing enterprise applications has traditionally been a long, painful, and expensive task because applications developers often have to reinvent the wheel by writing, from scratch, the entire infrastructure needed to scale business logic up to the enterprise level. That?s where COM+ comes in. It?s an advanced Component Object Model (COM) runtime environment that provides prefabricated solutions to many of these generic infrastructure problems. It?s like a toolkit full of prefabricated solutions that are always available to simplify the work of Microsoft enterprise application developers. UNDERSTANDING COM+, REVISED EDITION elaborates on this story for developers, technical managers, and anyone else who needs to understand the COM+ architecture and technologies. ?This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Written for the IS manager or developer, Understanding COM+ explains the details of the emerging Windows 2000 COM+ standard and the real advantages it provides for enterprise computing. Clearly written and illustrated with easy-to-understand diagrams, this title succeeds in explaining the fairly difficult ?plumbing? of COM+ and its impact for the future of businesses running on the Microsoft platform.
Though it provides a good deal of technical detail, the standout feature of this book is its focus on real-world business problems in the enterprise and the solutions offered by COM+. Any IS manager or developer will be able to understand concepts like transactions, resource management, events, and asynchronous communications through the author?s carefully rendered diagrams and business scenarios. There?s not much actual code here, but the author does suggest techniques for designing components to take advantage of COM+.
