Description
Active Server Pages (ASP) are an outstanding solution for rapid development of Web applications - but Web developers increasingly require greater scalability than ASP can deliver alone. Using COM and COM+, developers can transform good Web applications into multi-tier applications that deliver outstanding performance, robustness, and scalability. Start by understanding how ASP and COM/COM+ work in tandem to enable scalable multi-tier Web application development, with COM components delivering middle-tier services such as business logic and database access, and ASP scripts gluing DHTML user interface elements together with the business logic. Understand Microsoft's Internet Server Application Programming Interface extension architecture, which reduces the performance overhead associated with traditional dynamic content solutions. Master Microsoft's Active Scripting COM component categories, and learn how to use ASP as an Active Scripting Host. Next, learn how ASP and IIS depend on COM+ infrastructure - and how to leverage COM+ most effectively.
The book also includes detailed coverage of intrinsic interfaces, context, threading, apartments, and security - helping developers gain all the concurrency benefits COM can provide, while avoiding mistakes that lead to poor performance. For all developers who use ASP and other Microsoft Web/multi-tier development technologies.
