Product Description
This book traces the development of e-commerce and e-business systems using the new technologies such as web servers, CORBA, HTML, XML, and Java. It specifically looks at challenging applications where major problems in performance and reliability need to be addressed. Using a Òbottom-upÓ approach, this book discusses clients and servers along with distributed development paradigms, before moving on to more specific technologies that are examples of the above concepts. This book also covers advanced topics, such as Internet security, concurrency, agents, and ubiquitous/mobile computing. Business professionals interested in integrating new technologies into their e-business plans and general readers interested in developing e-commerce Web sites and distributed applications using the Internet.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Developing Distributed and E-Commerce Applications (Paperback) This book was written as a college-level text. It also targets IT professionals who need to quickly understand the differences between e-commerce applications and traditional information systems as a secondary audience. As a college-level text this book is one of the few that will prepare students for the real world. The scope of topics, level of detail, and carefully chosen case studies are impressive because they capture the key knowledge areas and issues that working professionals deal with. As a refresher for working professionals who need to understand the big picture and intermediate details associated with e-commerce applications this book's wide coverage of topics makes it ideal. While students will need to work through the entire book, an IT professional can choose the topic areas selectively. For example, the chapter on E-commerce applications that covers supply chain management, e-tialing and auction sites will have more appeal to a working professional, while the chapters on programming will probably capture a student's interest. Additional features that will be of interest to each audience include: - Students and Instructors: (1) CD ROM that comes with the book contains exercises, source code, and additional study material, (2) a companion web site that provides 296 PowerPoint slides that augment the course, and (3) links to over 750 web sites that reinforce the lessons. - Working professionals: the CD ROM that comes with the book contains the full text of the book, which will allow searching for any topic or keyword. This is an excellent research resource, that is all the more valuable since the book is up-to-date and covers current technologies (Java, relational databases, XML, etc.), as well as important business issues.
