NetCentric and Client/Server Computing: A Practical Guide

Rating:
Summary: good material
Review: the material in this book is absolutely great. the concepts that are presented are something one wont get in college. the graphical user interface chapter, i think should have covered additional aspects like cohesion and coupling and good GUI practices in the software industry. the book is definitely a good buy even now ( though it is 2 years old)

Summary: Very good material
Review: This book covers a wide area of subjects related to Client/Server architecture, networks, architecture design, implementation guidelines, strategy, security... There is a good balance between theoretical and practical knowledge. Due to the extend of the subjects, it can not go in depth in all points, but it is definitely a very practical and usefull reference book, probably aimed at managers and consultors who want to update their knowledge or learn on specific network development. Price a bit step, but again there is a lot of information, and with Amazon discount, it makes it a good buy.
