MS SQL Server 2005 Notification Services

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Notification Services covers the basic problems of notification applications, describes the SQL Notification Services platform and describes how to use it to build rich, scalable notification applications. Written by Shyam Pather, the Technical Lead for the SQL Notification Services Team, this book is based on his three years of experience teaching SQL Notification Services to new customers. This book is your complete resource for learning SQL Notification Services application development and the underlying architectural concepts.

Notification Services offers a simple, declarative programming model that lets you build your application with much less development effort than would be required if you were building it from scratch. Using this programming model, you can get a working prototype of a typical application running in just a single day. Furthermore, the platform offers a number of sophisticated features, such as support for multiple languages and device types, scheduled subscriptions, user-defined matching logic, and multicast delivery, that you can incorporate into your applications by setting a few options. These kinds of beyond-the-obvious features set the most advanced notification applications apart from the rest.

This book is about building notification applications with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Notification Services. It covers general Notification Services concepts, describes specific coding techniques used to build applications, and walks you through the process of developing a sample application, from the initial design and prototype to final deployment and administration. In addition to the basics, it covers more advanced concepts for developers who want to get the most out of the Notification Services functionality.
