Distributed Systems Concepts and Design
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 3.67/5 from 3 reviews Merely an introduction to Networking conceptsThis book mostly explains networking concepts from a point of view of MIS people. I did not find this very useful from a programming concepts point of view, For example book does not explains the fundamental of distributed transactions, concurrency and replication of distributed data. To me it feels like networking concepts and database concepts were merged in one single book. Book in general attempts to covers a wide variety of topics. It is not very useful if you are a serious programmer in Corba or transaction management. THE book for people working on Distributed Systems.According to me, the book has been done very nicely.
Tthe chapters have been managed carefully and efficiently.
Read it once and u will surely know the HOWs , WHATs,WHYs and etcs of Distributed Systems. A well-written overview of an immense areaThis book takes on quite a lot of material and covers all topics quite well. As an introduction to Distributed Systems it serves as an excellent first-base and covers very current technologies such as ATM. The networking protocols section (especially for Ethernet & Token Ring) is outstanding and very well designed, while the emphasis through the text on transparency ties things together quite neatly. The strength of this book lies in its no-nonsense approach to technical issues while remaining very considerate to the reader. A great text and hopefully the next edition will include some sections on CORBA and other object-based technologies. Thouroughly recommended | ||||||||||||||||||
