Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"Oh no, not another book on client/server! But this one is different. … Starting from the theoretical beginnings, it describes how to set up the IIS web server and what exactly it is you are trying to achieve. … A good book if you want a real example of Client/Server architecture in action." (Ian Elliot, VSJ – Visual Systems Journal, May, 2004)
