Product Description
Distributed computing and Java go together naturally. As the first language designed from the bottom up with networking in mind, Java makes it very easy for computers to co-operate. Even the simplest applet running in a browser is a distributed application. The client running the browser downloads and executes code that is delivered by some other system. But even this simple applet wouldn't be possible without Java's guarantees of portability and security: the applet can run on any platform, and can't sabotage its host. This volume focuses on Java distributed computing and surrounding issues.
