Publisher's Synopsis
Packed with practical solutions to your enterprise development problems, this book should take your application development to a new level. You can apply the lessons you learn from the book to your own applications without first having to wade through reams of theory.;During the book, the authors use the structure of a relational database to build a rich object layer (the full source code is made available to readers, with an appendix devoted to its full description). This abstracts a lot of the complexity of building a rich application object model and makes it possible for application architects and programmers to create a powerful, highly reusable object model with a simple desktop application.;The book begins by taking a look at the overall design of the enterprise application and then moves on to show how the enterprise can be accessed from desktop and mobile applications, as well as over the web using ASP.NET. Web Services also play a big part by exposing the functionality of the underlying business objects, as well as being used for authentication amongst other things. Of course, security is discussed where particular issues arise, as well as being covered in more depth in its own chapter. Also covered is administration hosting, and management.
