Customer Reviews

Very valuable read.

Excellent book! I think that NAF is a very valuable book to read. I certainly learned a lot about the integration of networks and applications. Everyone who works in the enterprise software business, be it as an administrator or developer, can gain a lot of insight and specific information by reading this book and thinking about it. END

Invaluable for MCSE's and CCIE's, Network Designers, IS/IT

This book is an invaluable comprehensive guide to network design, distributed computing, and overall client/server architecture including security. Highly readable, it clearly explains important network design and distributed computing technologies-- how they work, what their key design constraints are, and how they compare. It is suitable for both beginners and advanced professionals looking for answers to difficult questions. If there's one book Microsoft or Cisco certified professionals, network designers, Information System (IS/IT) professionals, or application architects should buy this year, in my opinion this one is it.

A must read for IT Infrastructure Strategists and Designers

As industry analysts articulate the "vision" of the intranet becoming a unified platform for delivery of information services. Eric Greenberg has made it possible to develop a strategic architecture or roadmap to making it a reality.Peter G. Daniels R & D, Network Strategic Planning

Mandatory reading for managers and technicians alike.

Not often do we find a book that is a) technically current, b) comprehensive and c) readable. Eric Greenberg has provided such a work in Network Application Frameworks Design and Architecture.When the client-server trend reached the full-tilt-boogie level some years ago, worlds collided and knotty technical problems began to surface. Ever since that time there has been a dearth of understanding of the complexity and interaction of distributed application components. Eric has captured the essence of the problem domain in a book that is easily understood and technically comprehensive. For example, not only do we get a byte-level understanding of IPv6, we get a grasp of the implementation issues and even its historical context.If you manage, plan or implement distributed applications anywhere in the known galaxy, this book is a "must buy". Buy it, read it, keep it handy. Put your name on it in prominent letters, because someone will definitely try to steal it from you.

Excellent, concise, very understandable.

For quite some time I've searched for one book that summarizes networks and applications in a way that's understandable, and comprehensible. This book is it.
