Inhaltsangabe

With the migration to 3-tier client/server systems expected to jump by over 300% in 1997, this publication illuminates the pitfalls and shortcuts to a successful migration and should help managers not only to avoid the mistakes that others have made, but also copy the plans and strategies, ensuring that the migration is as painless as possible. Case studies of successful, large client/server applications are addressed in ten chapters from different industries and companies all around the world. Each chapter follows the same outline with final tips, things they would do differently, and comments from the software architect of the project. Three additional chapters focus on the future of 3-tier client/server and how it will be impacted by the internet, Java, Java Beans, and CORBA.
