> Hi Imar - thanks so much for the helpful messages you have sent as I 
have worked through the beginning interdev book! I plan to find and print 
out that COM package article via the URL you sent me - I'm sure it will be 
very helpful. I'm also emailing you personally because I know that you are 
a main member of the Wrox community (being a published author and all :) )
so I'm wondering if you might be able to give me a little advice....

I'm trying to make the transition from two-tier web developer to n-tier 
web developer. I know I need to learn the .NET framework. And web services.
I've also just found out about Web Matrix, and have downloaded it and the 
free online Wrox book "Inside ASP.NET and Web Matrix". I can't wait to 
begin learning the new IDE (just as soon as I've finished my current 
interdev project, of course!)

So, what do you think of Web Matrix as a learning tool? Do you think it 
will give me a good foundation in .NET, web services, etc? 

I don't know about where you live, but here in the States (Boston, MA) the 
market is really difficult these days. I'm really looking to get a good 
grounding in as short a time as possible so that I can find a position as 
part of a development team and work in an n-tier environment. 

Mind you, I'm not looking to fool an employer into thinking I have more 
knowledge than I do. I just want to achieve a level of knowledge and 
articulation that will help me get hired into an environment where I can 
get the training and support I'll need to excel. 

That said, I'm really hoping that Web Matrix will give me a jump start. 
I plan to purchase the new Wrox book on the subject asap (as soon as I'm 
done with the free one, of course!)

Any insights greatly appreciated!

Broke but Hopeful in the States,
Kirsten

 



Additionally, during development (and in production as well) you may 
consider hosting your DLL inside a COM+ package. One of the advantages is 
that the DLL doesn't get locked by IIS. You simply close down the package, 
recompile, and if the interface GUID has changed, reregister the DLL.

Below you'll find a link to a FAQ that describes how to do this.

Note, adding the DLL to a COM+ package takes care of registering. No more 
command line regsvr32 stuff.
