Description: This book helps the reader place rapidly evolving technologies -- such as the Internet, World Wide Web, distributed computing, object technology, and client/server systems -- in the context of enterprise computing. Broadly defined, enterprise computing is the development, deployment, and maintenance of the information systems required for survival and success in today's business climate. This book distinguishes what is essential from what is incidental, so that as products and systems evolve, it will continue to have lasting reference value. A variety of topics essential to understanding and applying enterprise computing are discussed, such as data persistence, security, performance, scalability, and development tools. Rather than presenting a myriad of product-specific details, a clear understanding of how the underlying technologies fit together and evolve is promoted.
