Tuesday-9

Today we went over chapter 13 deploying a web application. XCopy Deployment, FTP Deployment, Microsoft Windows Installer, and the CAB files are the four types of deployment tools. Registry Editor allows you to specify registry keys, subkeys, and values that are added to the registry in the target machine during installation. We also discuss that public/private key pairs can be easily generated using the Strong Name tool (sn.exe) available in the .Net framework SDK. Global Assembly Cache Tool (GAC) the (GacUtil.exe) is a command line tool that is especially useful to add or remove assemblies from the GAC from a program script or a batch file. A Web farm takes the concept of a Web garden and extends it to multiple computers. In a Web farm, your application runs on multiple Web servers at the same time. Clustering provides a second method of combining multiple computers for a single purpose than we work on our projects.
