Introducing Notification Services Programming

When you build a notification solution, you define one or more applications, configure an instance to host those applications, develop a subscription management interface, and optionally develop custom components. After building the solution, you can deploy it on a test system to debug the solution, and then deploy the solution to a production system.

This section describes how to plan a solution and the interfaces available for application development.
