内容説明
57080-4 (include certification logo from file certn.gif and add the following text centered beneath it; logo must be positioned near the IBM logo in the top right corner of the back cover)(logo) VisualAge for C++, Object-Oriented Associate Developer Combine the flexibility of a distributed architecture with the efficiency of object-oriented programming to achieve a new level of computing power. Visual Age for Smalltalk Distributed provides guidelines for developing distributed object applications with VisualAge and its Distributed feature. Distributed objects enable parts in a VisualAge application to access other parts in remote systems. The book focuses on application development using a distributed object computing model implemented with VisualAge Smalltalk. Written by an international group of experts in object-oriented technology, the book contains more than 100 figures and tables that illustrate each theoretical concept and trace its practical application.Visual Age for Smalltalk Distributed covers: *The paradigm of distributed object computing: Client/server models, object-oriented models, and distributed object applications *Specifics of the VisualAge Distributed Feature: New terminology, the IBM Smalltalk Distribution Toolkit, installation, architecture *Developing distributed object applications: Planning and designing the project, performance analysis, configuration, optimization, testing *Case study: Converting the Foreign Currency Exchange application to a distributed object application, step-by-step in three iterations *Specifications, definitions, and sample code are included as appendixes Visual Age for Smalltalk Distributed is written for software development managers, software designers, and application developers who want to use VisualAge to develop client/server and peer-to-peer applications with distributed objects.
Some knowledge of object-oriented modeling and experience with the VisualAge product are assumed. Use the sample applications, database, and code on the diskette to maser distributed object design techniques. Prentice Hall PTR, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458,
