“Realizing the Next Generation Internet”

The Internet of Today

Web sites are isolated islands and cannot communicate with each other on the user’s behalf in any meaningful way

Pages are “pictures of the data” and not the data itself

Browsing information is easy, but it is difficult to edit, analyze or manipulate (i.e. all the things knowledge workers actually need to do with it)

The Internet of Today(continued)

To access all online information, e-mail, offline files and other data, users have to struggle with multiple interfaces, varying levels of data access and only intermittent synchronization of all the information that is needed

The concept of a customized “personal information space” that adapts to the user’s needs is still a dream

The Internet of Today(continued)

The tools to build, test and deploy engaging web sites are hopelessly inadequate

Performance measurement, capacity planning and operations management are extremely difficult

Building systems that securely span a firewall is tough

The Internet of Tomorrow

Truly distributed web services that will integrate and collaborate with a range of complementary services

Shifting focus from individual web sites or devices to constellations of computers, devices and services that work together to deliver broader, richer solutions

The Internet of Tomorrow(continued)

Users will have control over how, when and what information is delivered to them

Businesses will be able to offer their products and services in a way that lets customers seamlessly embed them in their own electronic fabric

.NET Technology

.NET postulates that tightly coupled distributed application solutions (DCOM, CORBA, RMI) don’t scale to the internet

.NET services are loosely coupled .NET utilizes asynchronous message-based

approach XML and SOAP are the key

.NET Enabling Technologies

Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web Services Description Language

(WSDL) SOAP Discovery

.NET Framework

Common Language Runtime Unified Programming Classes Active Server Pages+

.NET Common Language Runtime

Manages memory allocation Responsible for starting and killing threads

and processes Enforces security policy Satisfies any dependancies that a

component may have on other components Unified across all programming languages

.NET Unified Programming Classes

Similar to MFC, WFC (Java), VB APIs Unifies the disparate frameworks that

Microsoft has today Enables cross-language inheritance, error-

handling and debugging

.NET Active Server Pages+

Builds upon Unified Programming Classes to provide a web application model in the form of UI controls and infrastructure

ASP+ controls project HTML to the client browser, but expose an OO programming model to the server application

ASP+ infrastructure includes session state management and process recycling
