Mark Nadelson (Author), Tom Hagan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 2000

Combine the power of both operating systems Use C++ Objects to achieve cross-platform communication Want to reduce your overall cost of ownership? The object-oriented techniques for cross-platform communications presented in this book will enable you to

Combine the power of the UNIX and Windows NT operating systems with advanced cross-platform techniques that go beyond socket communications. Implement communications in a wide variety of architectures including single-threaded, multi-threaded and Windows-based applications with C++ objects that employ RPC, REXEC, FTP, cross-platform semaphores, shared memory and pipes.

About the Author

Mark Nadelson and Tom Hagan have 25 years of experience in developing within UNIX, DOS/Windows and, more recently, Windows NT systems. Their work has included the development of network software for telecommunications, digital signal processing, Internet programming, and financial institutions. It is in their development of mission-critical applications for financial institutions, where legacy UNIX systems are wedded to Windows NT workstations, that they have honed their skills in inter-platform communications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice book to Learn C++ on Unix , Win NT, Network Programming, January 22, 2001

This review is from: C++ Objects for Making UNIX and WinNT Talk (Paperback)

This book is excellent to those who have C++ programming experience. You will Understand C++ on UNIX/WIN NT and Newtwork Programming with greater detail. Learning the syntax of a language C++ is the easy part -- the hard part is understanding why things are done in UNIX/WIN NT in certain ways and how to best utilize the language features on both UNIX/WIN NT , and I felt this book did a great job of explaining that. It contains code pieces(Classes) for IPC(Inter Process Communication), Socket Programming, RPC(Remote Procedure Call) and Threads very well. A lot of code can be just cut & paste onto our real world problems. It teaches how to write portable C++ on both the environments UNIX/WIN NT. There is lot of new stuff compared to its older version. I would say it is worth buying this book coz it teaches u C++, UNIX/WIN NT, Network Programming(TCP/IP) and lot of Underlying details of OS & heterogeneous Networks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Provides features not inherently available from pure sockets, February 23, 2001

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C++ Objects for Making UNIX and WinNT Talk (Paperback)

Offering a practical, "user friendly" guide to implementing object-oriented cross-platform communications, C++ Objects for Making Unix & WinNT Talk is an ideal reference for network programming. Readers will learn advanced techniques which provide features not inherently available from pure sockets including Remote Procedure Calls (RPC); Remote Execution (REXEC); File Transfer Protocol (FTP); Cross-Platform Semaphores; Pipes (for process-to-process communications that transmit and receive data using standard input and output file descriptors); as well as Publish and Subscript application frameworks allowing UNIX and NT to communicate without customizing message sending and translation. This highly recommended text is accompanied by a CD-ROM which equips the reader with C++ Objects that can be plugged into their own applications.
