Essential Client/Server Survival Guide

This information-packed Survival Guide takes you on a sweeping tour of the world of client/server. From operating systems and communications, to application architectures that incorporate database, transaction processing, groupware and objects, to the internet and the World Wide Web and their role in the new generation of client/server and object management, this book covers it all.

ROBERT ORFALI, DAN HARKEY, and JERI EDWARDS write such exceptional books because they design, build, and evaluate client/server products for a living. Bob and Dan create client/server systems using distributed object technology for IBM. Jeri Edwards heads a multimedia server start-up called ADB MATISSE. She was previously director of development for client/server systems and TP monitors at Tandem Computers. They are also the authors of The Essential Distributed Objects Survival Guide, available from Wiley.
