"This book is an invaluable resource for learning about MSMQ."
--Peter Houston
MSMQ Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation

Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ)--which is incorporated into the newest version of Windows NT--brings asynchronous transaction processing (TP) capabilities to the Windows platform for the first time. MSMQ combines the high performance and robustness of mainframe transaction processing with a flexibility of objects, an administrative ease-of-use, and an ability to scale. As such MSMQ is a key technology contributing to the growth of Internet commerce and intranet distributed processing.

Whether you are a Windows programmer who is new to transaction processing or a UNIX programmer who wants to learn more about MSMQ, this book will introduce you to the topic and show you how to develop transaction-processing applications using the MSMQ technology.

Designing Applications with MSMQ offers an overview of the general design of queued messaging applications and a discussion on how MSMQ can be used in two-tier, three-tier, Web, and component architecture applications. This book also provides a detailed description of MSMQ architecture, queue, and message properties, as well as a detailed description of how MSMQ interacts with other transaction technologies, such as MTS and SQL Server.

A step-by-step tutorial shows you how to write MSMQ applications using COM components, Visual Basic, Visual C++, and the MSMQ API. In addition to the tutorial, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to transaction processing and develops a full-scale application using MSMQ that illustrates the technology's power and potential for this emergent field.
