Client/server is a term used for a specific configuration for database applications run on workstations from a centralized database. Focusing on the practical concepts and implementation for systems designers, this volume provides a comprehensive introduction to client/server systems.

From the Author

Comments on the 2nd Edition
The 2nd Edition (594 pages) contains significantly more information than its predecessor (333 pages).

The text of the 2nd Edition is organized into 5 major parts:

Part 1: Basics
This is introductory material aimed at people who want to understand what client/server is all about.

Part 2: Vision
This presents a vision of where client/server computing leads (including the effect of the Internet).

Part 3: Management Aspects
This deals with all the aspects of business cases, management issues, transition, and operations. This section also contains some handy planning checklists.

Part 4: Technology
This reviews all the basics of client server protocols including RPCs, Message Queueing, RPC Programming, SQL, SQL Programming, Networked SQL, CORBA, OLE/DCOM.

Part 5: Implementation Apsects
This addresses all the things you need to know about actually building client/server systems including architectural rules of thumb, scaleability, security, distributed systems management, reliability, performance and capacity planning.

Overall, you will find this book to be a great guide during your first time through it and you'll also find yourself using it as a handy reference guide for years to come. One of my goals when I wrote this text was to try to include all the kinds of things that I always needed to look up the details on.

Teachers note that this text has been very popular in the educational market and is frequently used as a textbook in senior college, university and continuing education credit courses.

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as the many others who already have. Note that it is also available in Chinese, Portuguese, and French as well as English.END
