About the Book: The book covers the detail concepts of Client Server Architectural aspects, its application components, its relationship with database, development tools associated with it and technologies used to develop client server systems. The book will serve as a complete text for all undergraduate (BCA, B. Sc., BCS and B. Tech.) and post graduate students (MCA, M. Tech. and MS) of Computer Science and Engineering students of various Technical Universities. Also the scope and depth of topics covered in the book, with its straightforward and often humorous delivery, make this book worth.

A newly revised edition of the guide to making the most of this increasingly important information systems technology. Using real-life examples, the book demonstrates the potentials and limits of client/server technology, examines how this technology can be used to increase productivity, describes the design of client/server systems using a variety of software systems and more. This edition offers expanded material on technical aspects of client/server systems including upgrade management, middleware, network printing, IEEE, LAN and ATM protocols, CORBA, HTTP and HTML. Also includes a new chapter on network SQL, ANSI SQL and ODBC as well as an expanded appendix and exercises and projects that cover topics chapter-by-chapter.
