Customer comments on this selection.
 I won't suggest - superficial treatment of the subject
I'm a software developer and avid reader of math and tech books.
br /This book seems to cover a wide variety of topics in a very superficial way.
br /A good author will keep the readers imagining and solving problems before they learn the specific topic from the book itself and the author will also have the answers for imaginative readers' probable questions (might be in the subsequent chapters).
br /
br /The authors of this book failed to achieve that. I'm buying "Distributed Algorithms" by Nancy A. Lynch
 It's alright...
The best review I can give for this book is this: it's OK.
br /
br /It's not terribly thorough, but it's easy to read. You're going to need some supplementary publications in order to fill in the gaps it leaves or just to answer the questions you will probably have popping up in your head.
br /
br /I'd recommend reading this before anything else, though. All the other books are so immensely difficult to actually force yourself through that this provides a great "starter" so you're better prepared for what everyone else is going to throw at you.
 Bedtime reading!
I bought the book in few months but already knew. These book is excelente and a best seller, the concepts are shows and have several examples about distributed systems such CORBA, WEB services, RMI, etc. I really have it by my side ever. Such a distributed systems software enginerring is very good to know theirs concepts abroad this area.
 Good book
I use this book as a teacher, I find it very complete and simple to understand, RMI examples are fine and good to improve the learning about distributed systemps.
br /
br /I'm giving this book 4 stars, this book is good and perfect as an introductory learning but I have had often to complement the content using another books as well (like Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms (2nd Edition))
Hard to understand
+ sturdy construction
br /+ intro to many topics
br /+ problems at end of chapter have page reference of the answer
br /
br /- shallow coverage of too many topics
br /- some key learning points are left to the student in an intro book
br /- poor formatting and organization
br /
br /= an intro book that doesn't build enough on the foundations and tries to cover too much in this growing field
