Features: Developers are often expected to create robust, business-requirement-compliant applications. However, currently, the demand for creating highly scalable applications is becoming increasingly common. The introduction of .NET has significantly enhanced the ability of VB developers to use object-oriented technologies to develop scalable n-tier applications. This book analyzes the issues involved in each layer of the n-tier architecture layer by layer. It demonstrates, using a sample application, how to focus on scalability at each layer to create a highly scalable application. The book is divided into 6 chapters and 2 appendices, covering scalability planning, the data layer, the middle tier, the presentation layer, and the measurement of scalability. The content is practical and suitable for VB.NET programmers who wish to learn how to develop scalable enterprise-level applications.
