Title: Great Book
Review: This book states in plain english how a client/server product works, from theory to real world application. The author describes the history of computer information systems, databases, and program development. He takes each subject from humble beginnings as a technical brainchild to today's ( 1995 ) systems, continuing to tomorrows forecasted technology. This is a no nonsense author, who doesn't seem swayed by new technologies and "silver bullets". His philosophy is down to earth and in plain english. I couldn't put this book down, even while reading it in 2002. The history lesson presented in this book is worth more than Amazon is asking for this book. Buy it today.It isn't technical enough to be used as a manual, however it is still a good read.
