enterprise application development
 

Hi,

I want to look more into enterprise application development. I have to write a pretty big and complicated system, and I've never done anything like this.

Could someone please recommend any good reading (books) on enterprise application development.

Basically I have to build a system that does everything, and Java would be my language of choice for this.

Particularly:

A lot of media transfer, big files flying backwards and forwards.
Integration with a number of commercial applications through TCP.

Thanks

Perhaps your definition of "everything" and mine are different... What you want the system to do, in reality, will dictate which language I would suggest. Large files, media, networking... ok... but what platform? Will it need to be ran over the internet as well? Not really enough info... but in general C++, C#, or Java will be able to handle most enterprise level application development.

Hey IR,

Thanks for the reply... Mmm, I'm not really asking what language, but rather any suggested reading so I can get to grips with the techinques of enterprise app development, which to be quite honest scare me a bit. I've done a bit of reading on the net, but would like to see if anyone here can suggest further reading in book form?

It doesn't have to be Java, but I'm going that route because I'd like a quick and easy solution to cross-platform, and I can sacrifice a ltitle speed...

Thanks

My apologies... I overlooked the request for reading material and assumed you were looking for a language. If you are looking to use Java, this book seems to have good reviews.... http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Ente.../dp/0321130006

Can someone tell me what "enterprise development" is? It seems like its just a buzzword for large scale, distributed and reliable software applications/systems.
