The ideal programming guide for client/server computing in the 32-bit
environment, the latest edition of the best-selling Client/Server
Programming With OS/2. by Robert Orfali and Daniel Harkey of IBM, has been
thoroughly revised and updated for use with OS/2 version 2.1.

A complete guide to the ins and outs of building distributed networks using
OS/2, this book covers multitasking, LAN communications, the Database
Manager, transaction servers and presentation services, and related topics
such as TCP/IP, CPI-C/APPN, SQL, Netware and System Object Model (SOM).

This new edition supports OS/2's latest revisions, including its enhanced
networking and windowing capabilities and added support for multimedia
functions. It features in-depth tutorials, sample code and an optional
source code diskette.

Since the first edition appeared in 1991, Client/Server Programming With
OS/2 has become one of the top three best-selling OS/2 books of all time.
It was named "OS/2 Book of the Year" by OS/2 Monthly and was on the Barnes
& Noble Computer Best Seller List for six weeks.

Among the rave reviews for Client/Server Programming With OS/2 2.1 are
these superlatives from well-known industry guru Will Zachman of Canopus
Research:

"A terrific book that I can recommend enthusiastically to anyone who is
interested in the topic ... Not only a fantastic introduction tn OS/2 2.1
in the networked environment, but it's also a fabulous primer on just
about anything you want to know about networking from a
software/development angle ... It's a 1,000 page visual encyclopedia that
ought to be required reading for anybody who wants seriously to engage in
the development of 'industrial strength' application systems in a
client/server environment (whether they intend to use OS/2 or not). It's
absolutely one of the most impressive, best-written computer books I've
ever seen."

Client/Server Programming With OS/2 2.1 is one of 20 volumes in Van
Nostrand Reinhold's OS/2 series, the most extensive OS/2 library available
