Overview

Everybody agrees that the days of the mainframe are fast coming to a close and that the future of large-scale information systems is in client/server technology. Yet, despite all the fanfare, few people really seem to have begun to grasp the full potential of this emerging technology. For most, client/server is still nothing more than PC-based information retrieval, or LANs with attached database servers.

Overview

Everybody agrees that the days of the mainframe are fast coming to a close and that the future of large-scale information systems is in client/server technology. Yet, despite all the fanfare, few people really seem to have begun to grasp the full potential of this emerging technology. For most, client/server is still nothing more than PC-based information retrieval, or LANs with attached database servers. But, especially when extended into distributed and cooperative processing, client/server technology offers a degree of power, economy, flexibility, and user involvement only dreamed of a decade ago. Written by one of today's most influential pioneers in the field, this guide shows system developers how to get the most out of today's client/server technology. It gives you all the information you need clearly, concisely, and without sidetracking into the managerial issues covered in most client/server texts.

Written by a specialist in client/server development and transaction processing systems, this text is a crystal-clear introduction to client/server systems that cuts through the vagueness of most client/server manuals to provide clear-cut technical advice.
