Descrizione Systems Programming
Systems Programming: Designing and Developing Distributed Applications explains how the development of distributed applications depends on a foundational understanding of the relationship among operating systems, networking, distributed systems, and programming. Uniquely organized around four viewpoints (process, communication, resource, and architecture), the fundamental and essential characteristics of distributed systems are explored in ways which cut across the various traditional subject area boundaries. The structures, configurations and behaviours of distributed systems are all examined, allowing readers to explore concepts from different perspectives, and to understand systems in depth, both from the component level and holistically. Designed as a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to designing and developing distributed applications, this book is ideal for anyone who needs a comprehensive understanding of distributed systems. Readers will come away not only ready to design and develop distributed applications, but also to see the larger picture and appreciate alternate approaches.
