From sockets and RMI to web services
Mark A. Holliday, J. Traynham Houston, Eleanor Jones · 2008
Traditional coverage of network programming techniques in a computer networking course addresses sockets, remote procedure call, and object-oriented remote procedure call. We propose two innovations to that coverage. The first is to emphasize the historical development of those techniques as a sequence with each technique evolving from the previous one. The second innovation is to extend the historical development and the techniques to the important current technique of web services.
