Advanced .NET Remoting

Rating:
Summary: A Excellent .NET Remoting Tutorial
Review: This isn't a reference book. Nor is it a re-hash of the MSDN documentation. Instead, it's a very thorough tutorial. Prior .NET Remoting knowledge isn't necessary to understand this book. However, at least, intermediate experience with the .NET Framework is assumed. All of the examples are in C#, but there's also a VB.NET version of this book.

Summary: Feeling ¿remote¿ learning .net remoting? Buy this book!
Review: Unlike the "advanced" books from other publishers which leave you wondering where is the "professional" and "advanced " stuff, this book gives you perhaps 90% of what you might ever want to know about .NET remoting. Basically, Ingo starts where Microsoft has left it in the documentation. Trying to figure out how remoting works without this book will be hopeless. Ingo is very honest too - he mentions not only the advantages of the .net remoting, but the shortcomings as well, which demonstrates his immense technical experience. Hopefully, we will see more books from Ingo covering other advanced .NET topics.

Summary: A truly great resource on remoting
Review: What I love about this book is the fact that it shows not only working examples but also examples that seem intuitive and correct but are indeed wrong. In other words, the author tells how _not_ to program and why, which is very important.

When building a distributed application, normal programming rules don't apply. Networks get disconnected, servers or clients "die", object serialization is used differently, and remote event handling is tricky. This books covers all of that, and much more.
