For those non-technical watchdogs like myself, this may be an avenue for some free upfront info on e-commercve network apps.
Get the new IDC 'Application Frameworks' white paper for
architects and programmers.
IDC Research has done a detailed study on the issues related to
Application Development Frameworks and a comparison of older
methodologies with new methods involving UML and application
servers. They have written a white paper on their conclusions.
Normally, they charge marketing departments and technical libraries
$849 for the white paper, but by special arrangement we can send
you a free copy. Just submit the form below.
What is in the White Paper?
In large-scale network and transactional applications, platform
complexity now exceeds application complexity. Application
logic might be straightforward, but implementing that logic in a
multi-threaded, multi-processor, distributed, heterogeneous
environment that needs to be fault tolerant and scalable can
be quite a challenge.
Interfacing to a variety (of changing) protocols, standards, and
technologies is a challenge. Once you have wrestled the
implementation platform into submission and understand your
service application you then find a veritable jungle of
protocols, standards, and technologies between your
application and the real world.
The first 500 are free, but is there a catch? Don't know, so I had it sent to a PO Box. : )
