The Evolution of Distributed Programming
Tom Barnaby · Apress eBooks · 2002
Today, buzzwords like enterprise programming, distributed programming, n-tier, and scalability are floated in nearly every product announcement. So before tackling the nuances of distributed development in.NET, this chapter attempts to de-marketize such terms by applying real meaning and context to these ubiquitous words. Also, while this book is primarily a nuts-and-bolts “how to” guide, it is important to have a clear understanding of why you should distribute applications and how to design a distributed application. To this end, this chapter offers five principles to help guide your distributed development in.NET or any other platform. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
