Rating: Summary: A good technical explanation book! Review: I haven't tried the other books but I've read about .NET remoting once in MSDN document and I found it gives very brief information that I could haven't realized what's going on there.However, this book excellently describes the concept of .NET remoting and it's easy to follow. Although some examples and pictures are occasionally mistaken, but if you get the idea of the topic, you can easily fix it. (But It could be better if there was no mistake at all, anyway). I suggest it's best to read when you know what're going to do with it.
Rating: Summary: Invaluable Review: If you can't understand .NET remoting from this book, you have no business writing code. Along with great explanations of how .NET remoting works in general, the author provides invaluable boilerplate code for writing custom sinks (described as "white space" by another reviewer). These sinks allow the developer to intercept remoting messages at various stages of serialization so you can encrypt the message or add your own custom properties. These properties can be reconstituted with the message on the server side. Ingo gives an example of sending the client thread's priority to the server, and having the server thread run under the same priority.
Rating: Summary: deep, juicy Remoting data Review: Ingo has the amazing ability to take painful, mind-wrenching information, and show it in such a easy way. His description of the King Domain, Channel Sinks is worth the book alone. Finally we have a great explanation of how to use Remoting in our applications.
Rating: Summary: *The* Book! Review: One of the best books available on advanced .Net series and, certainly, the best one focusing .Net Remoting. Ingo's thoughts are clearly based on years of experience working with remoting technologies, important side notes and best practices are evidenced when necessary. Understanding, using and extending .Net remoting to solve real world scenarios were Ingo's primary concerns. That's what it makes it so enjoyable to read. This book isn't titled Advanced for nothing, it shouldn't be your first step into .Net but a must-to-take step if you want to become a strong .Net developer and enthusiast. Actually this is the first book I read that hasn't any kind of introduction to .Net framework, it's pure .Net Remoting from the first to the last page. Solid understanding of the .Net framework will help you to get amazing results and extreme flexibility on your n-tier .Net applications.
Rating: Summary: Essential to getting real work done Review: So far this is the best (if not the only) source for learning how to receive events through remoting. My development problem: notify numerous clients when a record has been inserted into a table. Through what I learned in the In-Depth .Net Remoting chapter I was able to do just that, and in a robust way that can tolerate the disconnection of clients without blowing up the event raising on the server. There is much useful information throughout the book. I really appreciated the line by line (or should I say node by node) explanation in the Configuration chapter. There is so much good info that I still haven't assimilated everything in this book. I also found Ingo responsive when I contacted him by e-mail; however, this book is bound to get so popular I wonder if that will continue to be the case. This is a quality explanation of .Net remoting. It does not just present simple examples, but it illustrates concepts with robustness of architecture in mind.
Rating: Summary: Ingo Rocks Review: The best information on remoting currently available. Additional wealth is found on his website.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Introduction in .NET Remoting Review: The book is very well written and includes excellent examples for understanding .NET Remoting. The author discusses the .NET Remoting features by many examples which is very good for learning this new technology.
Rating: Summary: Excellent!!! Review: This book does not waste 200 pages on "Hello World" concepts. It is targeted to experienced programmers and gets right to the information you need. Highly recommended!
Rating: Summary: Essential reference for remoting Review: This book explains clearly and concisely all the stuff that the framework documentation doesn't. If you're doing any .NET remoting, I'd say this book is a must read. Mr. Rammer has done a great job of systematically examining how remoting works, what you need to know to use it effectively, and what doesn't work (possibly most importantly). My one disappointment so far is his (IMHO) somewhat cavalier treatment of how to secure remoting. He describes one way to do it, and doesn' really consider any others. Aside from that, this is a fabulous book.
Rating: Summary: remoting made easy Review: This book is 10x better than the wrox c# web services and remoting book. It has more examples than the wrox book and the examples actually work. Can't say anything more but the author really [does a good job] in this book making the reader an expert in this field.
