Local Area Networks: A Client/server Approach [by James E. Goldman]

The book is a business-oriented, comprehensive introduction to LANs and client-server architectures. With its modular structure, it is intended as a handbook for a variety of courses-for example, an introductory course on LANs, on information technology and client-server architectures, or on networking and telecommunications. The text comprises six parts, which can be studied separately. Each chapter ends with a summary of its contents, a list of key terms with cross references, and a rich list of references for more detailed study. A section in each chapter contains review questions and business cases useful for classroom discussion.
