The goal of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to effectively build scalable, distributed applications that use the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft .NET Enterprise Services.

This course caters to developers who build client/server applications and solutions for departments inside a business. Web developers who currently build applications (Web-based) requiring infrastructure support for transactions, pooling of resources, and security will benefit from this course as well.

This course will teach you the COM+ runtime architecture and how to configure an assembly as a COM+ application to create components that use just-in-time (JIT) activation and are also synchronized. You will create data access components using Microsoft ADO .NET to update and retrieve data in a database. You will learn how to protect an enterprise application using COM+ services role-based security. You will manage state in JIT components and create resource managers to enable transactional support for resources that do not have a resource manager. You will also create queued components and send notifications to other applications using loosely coupled events. You will be well versed in debugging COM+ applications and how to solve application failures. You will understand how to manage the deployment and administration of applications using scripts. You will learn about the COM+ 1.5 enhancements, including: Services Without Components (SWCs), Bring Your Own Transaction (BYOT), Phase Zero Notification in applications and how COM+ 1.5 improves the scalability, availability, and manageability of COM+ applications.

We recommend that you have experience handling database transactions in program code and building assemblies by using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft Visual C#.
