Product Description: A newly revised edition of the guide to making the most of this increasingly important information systems technology. Using real-life examples, the book demonstrates the potentials and limits of client/server technology, examines how this technology can be used to increase productivity, describes the design of client/server systems using a variety of software systems and more. This edition offers expanded material on technical aspects of client/server systems including upgrade management, middleware, network printing, IEEE, LAN and ATM protocols, CORBA, HTTP and HTML. Also includes a new chapter on network SQL, ANSI SQL and ODBC as well as an expanded appendix and exercises and projects that cover topics chapter-by-chapter.
Awful Reference and Introduction I purchased this book for my client server class. I had to go out and purchase the client server for dummies to explain and illustrate client server technologies. Hard to follow and author loses you in his self-centered tirades. Do not buy this book, it's awful. Save your money and look elsewhere for your needs.
