From the reviews:
„The value of this book is in explaining, or attempting to explain, the idea and how to implement it. … This book succeeds in outlining how to go about solving the problems using VB. NET and . NET in general. There are some useful examples and lots of descriptions … . If you want to be on the cutting edge of a new technology then this book provides a practical approach.“ (Mike James, Visual Systems Journal, April, 2004)
Peer-to-Peer with VB .NET
von Matthew MacDonaldPeer-to-peer (P2P) proponents claim that their technology holds the keys to building virtual supercomputers, sharing vast pools of knowledge, and creating self-sufficient communities on the Internet. Peer-to-Peer with VB . NET explores how these design ideas can be integrated into existing . NET applications.
This book is an honest assessment of P2P and . NET. It doesn't just explain how to create P2P applications—it examines the tradeoffs that professional developers will encounter with . NET and P2P. It also considers several different approaches (Remoting, . NET networking, etc.) rather than adopting one fixed technology, and includes detailed examples of several popular P2P application types (messenger, file sharer, and distributed task manager).
