The goal of client/server computing is to move critical processing and database functions closer to end-users, enabling them to access information transparently within a multivendor environment. The first volume in a new series, this book provides IS professionals with a review of the technologies required to build client/server applications within an open systems environment. The author discusses selecting development tools, operating systems software, and database management systems, and defining standards that support requirements of interoperability and portability.
