However... The title is a lie. It is not a book about the "art of distributed applications", but about how to write applications using older versions of Sun RPC API. It is completely oriented towards that interface: there is no general discussion of distributed applications, theory, communications, IPC, other RPC mechanisms, etc. Essentially, this book is just a manual for Sun RPC. Unless you have money to burn, use the Sun manual "Network Programming Guide". At least that book covers TLI, sockets as well as RPC. regards, fletcher Fletcher Kittredge BBN Software Products 150 CambridgePark Dr, Cambridge, MA. 02140 617-873-3465 / fkittred@bbn.com / fkittred@das.harvard.edu
