This review is from: Distributed Computing and Client-Server (Textbook Binding)

I feel that after reading this book, I have recieved an immense amount of knowledge. Not that i was unaware of the technology but because this book has been so complete, it has given me an insight of how to do client-server as well as distributed computing.
