I kicked butt in my Distributed Computing lab this morning. I wrote some Java code that untilised Remote Method Invocation(RMI). The application consisted of a client and a server. The client asked for the user for two numbers, and then sent them to the server application residing on another machine, which performed the arithmetic, and sent the result back to the client. Fun fun fun!
I've said this before and I'll no doubt say it again : I don't read enough stuff. How people find the time to sit down and read, I don't know, but I'd like to find out.
