Question

I’m sorry if this is a trivial question. I’ve heard about client-server logic many times, in job requirement and in IT sites, too. I don’t really believe that I get that “client-server logic”. Anybody can provide me some good books about that and related things or client-server logic is just a trivial thing to understand?
Thanks for reading. Any help is appreciated.
PS: I have accepted Garrett Smallwood’s answer because it’s good, but I’m willing to know many more books about this topic. Thanks for any further suggestion.

Answer 1

I read, and strongly suggest Client/Server Survival Guide 3rd Edition

Books on client/server computing are often dry and academic. Not so with the Client/Server Survival Guide, now in its third edition. The trio of authors–Jeri Edwards, Dan Harkey, and Robert Orfali–make the topic interesting with a down-to-earth style that covers the informational landscape without boring the reader to tears. Numerous nontechnical diagrams drive home important concepts quickly.
The first part consists of a comprehensive overview of client/server computing. In this critical introduction, the authors discuss the paradigm, the various flavors of servers, and the basics of two-tier and three-tier architectures. They also discuss how the client/server works in the real world and introduce the concepts of LAN, WAN, and other connection topologies.
