This book will teach you all about Windows Server AppFabric
(code-named Dublin), a set of extensions to Windows Server that
allow it to function as a lightweight, application server. The
combination of Windows Server and AppFabric provides an
easy-to-manage platform for developing, deploying, and reliably
hosting middle-tier WCF/WF services.
Windows Server AppFabric fills an important vacuum left in the
wake of COM and COM+'s demise as the .NET platform has risen to
prominence. Provided as an extension to Internet Information
Services (IIS), the built-in application server frees you from
having to create your own Windows services to perform application
hosting. Instead, you can take advantage of plumbing and
infrastructure that Microsoft provides for you, freeing you to
focus on just your business logic while still being able to deploy
n-tier solutions on Windows Server. In this way, Windows Server
AppFabric solves the problem of developing, deploying, and reliably
hosting middle-tier WCF/WF services.
If you're an experienced developer, you'll want to learn about
Windows Server AppFabric fast, without a lot of reading. And that's
what this book is all about. It cuts to the chase and shows you the
simplicity and elegance that combine to form Windows Server
AppFabric, getting you up to speed fast, so that you can take
advantage of all the platform has to offer. What you'll learn
Deploy Windows Server AppFabric (aka Dublin) as your middle-tier
application host. Incorporate Windows Server AppFabric's built-in
functionality into your WCF- and WF-based .NET applications. Design
your applications to scale and perform in highly available
environments, and learn use advanced Windows Server AppFabric
features such as content-based and forward routing, long-running
transactions, message activity monitoring and tracking. Understand
Windows Server AppFabric's architecture, and know when it is best
used, and when you should look at other solutions, such as BizTalk
Server. Understand the Windows Server AppFabric roadmap and how
AppFabric relates to other new Microsoft technologies such as .NET
4.0, Oslo, and WCF/WF 4.0 Upgrade existing applications to Windows
Server AppFabric and take advantage of its architecture and
features. Who this book is for
.NET developers (including WCF and WF developers) BizTalk
developers
This book is aimed at .NET and BizTalk Server developers who
desire a middleware application server platform that simplifies the
deployment, configuration, management, and scalability of composite
applications while allowing developers to use their existing skills
with Visual Studio, the .NET Framework, and Internet Information
Services (IIS). The book is especially applicable to those who want
to leverage the .NET Framework 4.0 and Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) technologies.
