Introduction To Client Server Systems

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.

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.

* This is the "official" book on FirebirdSQL—it’s being written with the support of the development and management team. * Includes an extensive set of working, real-world examples, a troubleshooting guide, and a guide to migrating existing databases to FirebirdSQL. * This is the only book on the topic; appeals to users worldwide, especially in Europe; Most people deploy Firebird on Windows.

Client/Server System Design and Implementation provides you with a step-by-step plan for building a client/server environment, and fully explains open, semi-open, and closed architectures. It also analyzes major technological and market trends that impact client/server computing efforts.

For computer science courses focusing on distributed systems. This book systematically answers critical management and technical questions about the modern IT infrastructure, in particular, middleware.
