1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly organized, explained, written, 4 April 1999

By A Customer

I thought that this book was very difficult to understand. While titled "Thin Clients", the book is really an overview of web enabled systems (intra and inter and extra nets). However, the author does not really explain how and why the new architecture differs from previous architectures. The book is very poorly integrated. I never really understood what the main point was. Also, it's very poorly written and very difficult to understand. While I am not a programmer, I have read other technical articles on this subject that are much clearer and to the point.I don't know who the audience for this book is. It's not technical enough to be of use to a developer and it's not succinct enough to be of use to a business person. It's a really bad book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coverage of thin client computing, 24 April 1999

By A Customer

My context is as a student researching Thin Client computers. When I started my dissertation last year, the books on Thin Clients were extremely limited. This book provides a great overview of a variety of software technologies and their use in inter-, intra- and extra-nets. The flow of this book is a bit awkward, but the content is good for someone who understands a bit about the subject and wants to know more.
