Practical, hard-won wisdom for succeeding with client/server projects.
Client/Server and Beyond: Strategies for the 21st Century is the definitive guide to succeeding with client/server-from planning through implementation. Through extensive real-world case studies, two leading consultants show what works and what doesn't-and how companies are delivering on client/server's enormous potential without falling victim to its risks.
This book delivers a much-needed “big-picture” perspective on client/server development, as well as detailed, up-to-date guidance on every critical client/server success factor: people, process, technology, and tools. You'll walk step-by-step through the development process, discovering new ways to:


*Prepare your organization for success with client/server.

*Define projects that align with business goals-and have the best chance for success.

*Build the right team.

*Establish the optimal development infrastructure and client/server architecture.

*Prototype your applications more effectively.

*Streamline construction, testing, and implementation.

Along the way, you won't just learn the current state-of-the-art in client/server, you'll preview emerging trends and technologies that may soon revolutionize the development process.

Reader Reviews
This book shows you how to manuever the tricky waters of managing client/server projects in which multi-disciplinary skill sets are required to be successful. Though it only hinted at the coming web revolution, its precepts are valuable if applied judiciously in the management of client/server development teams to bring a client/server projec in on time and on budget. And having had the privilege of working with both of the authors, I can attest to ther excellence and passion in this challenging profession. Well done! When will the second edition be ready?
