Description:Beginning Windows Application Server shows readers how to take advantage of new and eagerly awaited technology built into Windows Server to enable inexpensive deployment of multi-tier and SOA-based applications. This new technology was known during development as "Project Dublin," and it appeals to developers working for medium-size businesses without the resources to spend on expensive, third-party deployment solutions. Demand for the book is further reinforced by the current economic climate, which practically forces businesses to extract all the functionality that they can from their existing software investments.
