Power Programming with RPC Review
2000-08-04 11:02:03 Clayton Mitchell
This book should probably be considered one of the essential guides to UNIX and networking heterogeneous systems. I can't count the number of times a developer or system administrator has asked the question "How do I start a job on another computer from this compouter?" This is perplexing probably because of the many possible answers, and from a security standpoint or a resource management or even configuration management standpoint, most of the solutions I see being used are more like hacks than precise solutions. RPC provides that exact solution set to this and many other network applications.
