Book of the Month:
COM+ Programming

COM+ Programming:
With it being so fashionable to write about the beta .NET framework - books that will be out of date soon after they are published - it is nice to see a book about an established product, and one that has a lengthy future. I am talking about COM+ of course, the .NET framework relies on COM+ for its component services and will do in the future. So it makes sense to learn about COM+ because you can use it now with Windows 2000 and you will use it in the future when .NET is released. More Details...

edge articles, breaking news, forums, a developer catalogue

Welcome to all the new subscribers this week, many of whom
appear to have found us on Tuesday judging by the huge peak on
the site traffic for that day!  It's been a busy week again
on the site and also behind the scenes.  We look forward to
being able to announce a variety of ASP applications which
have come out of the development of the site very soon.
