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.

Information technology has changed dramatically over the last few years, and it will continue evolving. These rapid changes have left many businesses unable to take advantage of the potential to be more competitive through improved quality, increased service, quicker time to market for products, reduced costs, and higher profits. Client/Server Computing is geared to position companies to take advantage of the new technologies available. This book is written in an easy-to-understand manner so that both IS professionals and traditional managers and executives can comprehend and appreciate the workings and benefits of client/server computing. Plus, the detailed charts and graphics make this an ideal tool for internal presentation of ideas and training.

Client/server computing is the hottest trend in information systems today, and Oracle7 is one of the most popular servers at the heart of such client/server systems. This book delivers a broad but comprehensive explanation of Oracle7 features, focusing on those that are important for client/server configurations. It also discusses the other components of an Oracle7 client/server database system.

And he covers all the key topics, with chapters on Middleware, Architecture, Design, Tools, Databases, Replication, Warehousing, and Transaction Monitors.

From bestselling author Dewire comes this sequel to the highly successful "Client/Server Computing" examining how client/server technology has changed since its inception four years ago, why some strategies have failed while others have proven more adaptable, the tools that have worked, and those that haven't. Brimming with advice of what and what not to do, this book will be a must for IS managers, designers, and implementors.

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.

To address new demands in business computing, software vendors are introducing application server toolkits. The concept is to create clusters of low-cost computers that support one specific business area, then connect these clusters to the corporate network. By using the network as the computer, one piece of software can support desktop computing, electronic commerce, and communication with traditional mainframe software. Building Application Servers is a practical guide to application server technology, explaining the theory of network computing and providing practical techniques that use these tools to produce effective business solutions. Rick Leander includes practical examples and program code that use UML, Java, RMI, and JDBC to illustrate design problems and programming techniques. The development framework offered spans a variety of platforms, vendors, and middleware architectures. Software developers who are familiar with traditional client/server technology but want to learn how to move to distributed client/server computing will find this book invaluable.
