Features: This book is written for readers who have a certain programming foundation but lack a comprehensive understanding of distributed application development based on Visual Basic.NET. It guides readers step by step through the development and implementation of a complete distributed application, following software engineering principles from requirements analysis, system architecture design, to coding, implementation, and testing, enabling readers to truly understand and master the core technologies and essence of .NET for distributed application development. The book combines theory with practical examples, providing an in-depth analysis of .NET's distributed technologies, particularly remote procedure calls (RPC), in building distributed application solutions, allowing readers to successfully construct their own distributed applications. The book primarily introduces how to develop distributed applications using Visual Basic.NET's distributed technologies. It is divided into four parts, with a total of 11 chapters. Part one begins with the evolution of application architectures, introducing the concepts, design requirements, and advantages of developing distributed applications using Visual Basic.NET. Part two covers the basic techniques for developing distributed applications in the Visual Basic.NET environment, including Windows interface design techniques in Visual Basic.NET, changes in basic syntax, and object-oriented programming. Part three discusses advanced techniques for distributed application development using Visual Basic.NET, including advanced technologies such as ADO.NET, XML, Web Services, and remote procedure calls. Part four primarily takes the development of a "Distributed Book Management System" with a mixed C/S and B/S architecture as an example to provide a detailed introduction to the specific applications of key technologies in distributed application development using Visual Basic.NET. This book is particularly suitable for intermediate and advanced developers who have a certain programming foundation but lack a comprehensive understanding of Visual Basic.NET and are eager to master its use in distributed application development.
