4.0 out of 5 stars hides some of the complexity of Globus, January 30, 2006
By W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Will Globus ever be successful? It is very specialised, and currently it seems only a few universities and companies use it. To encourage greater uptake, this book shows how to write various Java services in Globus. An acknowledgment of Java's popularity, in part driven by the relative ease of programming in it.

This toolkit does hide some of the programming complexity of Globus. A Java programmer will still need to learn somethings specific to Globus. There appears to be no way around this with the current version of Globus.

Another attraction of the book is due to the big interest about Web Services. While these are independent of any language in which to encode them, in practice, a lot of work has been done in Java.
