Client/Server Information Systems : A Business-Oriented Approach

This book is for the new courses on client server architecture and client server applications which are emerging in many MIS programs, particularly those with telecommunications concentrations. Because of its flexible organization and practical orientation it is appropriate for a wide variety of levels, including community college, undergraduate, and graduate. It incorporates the same pedagogical models and hands-on, business oriented emphasis which has been successful in Goldman's previous books.
