5.0 out of 5 stars Important new book on distributed systems development, 3 Jul 2000

By A Customer

This book covers an area of increasing importance, ie the design and implementation of modern distributed object systems. It combines details of the technologies, eg. CORBA and COM, with design notations and issues, eg. UML and scalability. As such, it fills a very important gap in the market and deserves to be successful. I know of no other book that tackes these issues in the same coherent manner.

I have been teaching these topics for the last three years on undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and have had to use a variety of different literature resouces. This book now provides me with an excellent core text - well written and presented, with good explanations of complex issues.

Many thanks, Wolfgang. I can thoroughly recommend this book to teachers and researchers in this area.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unfocused, 9 May 2002

By A Customer

The book attempts to address abstract notions of distributed systems and include practical examples, however this book is *not* recommended for the following reasons:

1. Each morsel of information is minimal and without context.
2. Extremely repetitive statements yield no detailed description nor effective examples on any given topic.
3. There are *numerous* contradictory statements.
4. When systems are described within the text, there are only vague notions of the way its components should 'hang together' in a real world application.
5. The text does not stick to the topic at hand.
6. For Java/CORBA at least, no valid IDL information.

Whilst grammatically correct, the authors' use of the English language is a masterpiece in meaningless waffle. Look elsewhere if your degree depends upon it. Unfortunately for me, this was a course recommended book.

I have no alternative titles to recommend; But I suggest you buy _any_ other, it can't be this bad.
