A guide to utilizing Microsoft's new distributed application infrastructure for creating efficient scalable systems, this book deals with the complexities of the remoting infrastructure. Covered are topics such as remoting objects by reference and value, client- and server-activated objects, channel and formatter customization, configuration, hosting, and COM+ integration with EnterpriseServices.

Distributed application history and architecture are discussed, and several case studies demonstrating how to discern which distributed application technology works best for various scenarios are included.

Don Browning develops systems using both Web services and remoting and is a technical architect on a large-scale multitier distributed system that tracks physical multimedia assets for an international media corporation. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
