Basics of RPC programming using SUN's ONC,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Distributed Applications: Programming Techniques for Remote Procedure Call (Sun Technical Reference Library) (Hardcover)
The book covers from the basics of Distributed Appications and to the design of one of those. It concentrates on the SUN's RPC library. It does deal with good and simple examples, but on in depth. Certain examples can be dealt with more elegantly and more interestingly. Only few examples are given which doesnt cover much of this vast field. I think an example is worth 1000 words. But the book doesnt progress in that way. Infact the SUN's tutorial in docs.sun.com deals more of examples and explanation than this book does. But one thing to be appreciated is that the XDR portion of this book is great and a master piece. For a beginner like me it helped me in understanding a lot into it. I does cover only the basics of every thing. Nothing in depth. The chapter on rpcgen is worth mentioning for the author's lucidness in explaining the beautiful concepts involved in it. Finally the book ends up with the mention of the future of RPC. According to me it is the best ONLY for Beginners.
