Book Description

Series: J. Ranade Workstation Series | Publication Date: September 1994

Client/server networks are growing at an explosive rate, as is the need for new applications. One of the most popular distributed protocols currently in use is APPC, and the preferred programming interface for APPC is CPI-C, the Common Programming Interface for Communications. This text aims to provide everything the programmer needs to know to use CPI-C to write distributed applications in a modern networking environment. Written specifically for programmers, this how-to guide includes illustrative examples, guidelines, tips, templates and reusable C code samples. The book takes the reader from a simple pair of programs through all the sophisticated techniques needed for modern client/server applications. The text includes: strategies to decide which networking technologies to use in developing new distributed applications; tips on how to handle as many clients as possible with as few sources as possible; a complete library of CPI-C call, parameter and constant value with source code examples; techniques for robust error handling; advice on aspects of CPI-C that authors don't recommend, and why; and a disk of reusable source code.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The authors seem to have mastered the difficult art of adequately pacing the presentation of complex material. Walker and Schwaller provide something for everyone here: designer, coder, APPN network support person." -- Brooks, Richard, Datamotion, 9/94
