5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work, July 30, 1999

This review is from: The TUXEDO System: Software for Constructing and Managing Distributed Business Applications (Paperback)

Great introduction to Tuxedo. What I like the most is the completeness of the book. In other words, they define all their terms and assume no prior knowledge. I got up to speed very quickly on Tuxedo thanks to this book.

This review is from: The TUXEDO System: Software for Constructing and Managing Distributed Business Applications (Paperback)

This book is written the way books in this field should be written! Take note computer community, the authors of this book have not simply compiled an encyclopedia, but have carefully crafted a book. Early chapters provide theory and and lay the foundation for the detailed chapters that follow, covering everything from transactions to MIBS. Useful examples are povided, and it is impossible to finish this book without a conversational understanding of Tuxedo. If you need to know the difference between an RPC, FML buffer, and an RM, get the book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer for the Application Developer, December 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The TUXEDO System: Software for Constructing and Managing Distributed Business Applications (Paperback)

Much better written than "Building Client/Server Applications with Tuxedo" Is comprehensive and provides useful pointers - very much a textbook approach. Could do with a new edition covering examples in Visual Basic and a chapter on Jolt.
