ES0740: CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING
This course provides a broad overview of emerging technologies that
are tightly coupled to the UNIX Operating System. UNIX has emerged as the
preferred operating system for system developers and end-users. With recent
advancements in Graphical User Interfaces, the very nature of end-user
computing is changing dramatically. UNIX is at the center of this change.
We start by presenting a brief history behind the development of the UNIX
Operating System. We will then examine those features which have led to
its popularity. Finally we will examine new technologies in the networking,
distributed computing, graphical user interface, and database areas
