Here's an interesting book I ran across. It's called "Client-Server Programming with OS/2 Extended Edition", (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1991). It covers multitasking, NetBIOS, APPC, Named Pipes, Database Manager, and GUI clients. The book contains many benchmark programs, friendly tutorials, and concludes with a Club Med client-server application on an OS/2 EE platform. You'll find the book to be very fat but it's quite friendly. It contains about 100 illustrations and 300 pages of C code. The target audience are PC programmers, MIS programmers, LAN and Communications specialists, database administrators and anyone with an interest in SNA, SAA or OS/2 EE. The book can also be used as a supplementary text for courses on networks, operating systems, OLTP, LANs, SQL, database theory, servers, and distributed systems.
