De la contraportada

This book offers a clear, concise guide for anyone involved in developing applications, evaluating products, designing systems, managing databases, or engineering products. It provides an understanding of the internals of transaction processing systems, describing how they work and how best to use them. It includes the architecture of application servers, transactional communications paradigms, and mechanisms for recovering from transaction and system failures.

The use of transaction processing systems has changed in the years since publication of the first edition. Electronic commerce has become a major focus for business data processing investments, from banking and stock purchase on the web, to eBay® auctions, to corporate database management. New standards, new technology and products, and new languages allow web services, REST/HTTP, and SOA to become leading styles of design for enterprise applications. With the help of this book and its rich examples, you will be able to develop, integrate, deploy and manage state-of-the-art transaction processing applications.

• Complete revision of the classic non-mathematical transaction processing reference for systems professionals.
• Updated to focus on the needs of transaction processing via the Internet¾ the main focus of business data processing investments, via web servers, SOA, and important TP technologies and standards.
• Retains the practical, deep, and thorough technical basis of the first edition, with expanded coverage of all topics, including transactional middleware, business process management, transaction synchronization, and database replication.
