This pioneering volume presents practical client-server solutions, using OS/2 Extended Edition as the practical operating system platform. The first book to focus on the "hot" topic of client-server platforms, it presents a systematic treatment of the subject, integrating LANs, database and preemptive multitasking with graphic front-end clients (GUIs). Both the theory and practice of building distributed client-server software are covered, along with some of the most advanced software technology on the market. Readers will learn how to create practical client-server applications with OS/2 EE; how client-server integrates such technologies as peer-to-peer LAN-based communications, preemptive multitasking, SQL database engines and GUIs; and how client-server technology creates a new generation of network applications that preserve the intuitive nature of PCs. Other important topics addressed are SQL, on-line transaction processing and SAA. This book should be of interest to PC programmers; MIS programmers and analysts; LAN and communications specialists; database administrators and data processing personnel with an interest in SNA and SAA.
