Designing Scalable .NET Applications is a book that promises much. After all, scalability is a quality that we desire for all our potentially large-scale systems. What does scalability entail? In an ideal world it should be a natural property of the technology. In the real world scalability is all about making the right choices before you start work, and many of the choices are less than obvious. This book does its best to help, but it is essentially an overview of the .NET technology. It isn’t detailed enough to help programmers make the right choices but it is a broad enough perspective for system architects to point the project in the right direction. Not a perfect book but helpful.
