Summary: Old and in need of Update
Comment: I feel that this book needs to be updated. It makes so many statements that even a newbie such as I can tell are outdated, that the entire content of the book is cast into doubt. How can I tell whether or not I should believe any given sentence? I find myself in the position of needing to independently verify almost every statement, and who has time for that? I came here hoping for a newer edition that I could feel more confident about, and am very disappointed not to find one. Judging from other references (e.g. the Solaris 8 "ONC+ Reference Manual," at docs.sun.com -- on the topic of using RPC with threads, for example), the technology has changed over the last 12 years, to the point where I for one don't trust this book.

Summary: bloody awful
Comment: This is possibly the worst pile of trash I have EVER read in my life. Please don't buy this complete pile of rubbish. In fact I think I'm going to wipe my backside with it.

Summary: The value of this work depends on you
Comment: As with any book the value you get out of it depends on what you already know or can extrapolate. The book has a clearly defined target audience is assumed to have some knowledge of the C programming language and UNIX. For those not familiar with IPC there are some added chapters. Some exposure to the X windows system is expected.
An RPC system is a collection of software necessary to support remote procedure call programming and the necessary run time services.
This book can carry you thro from the concepts to the practical. As with any universal book there will be many variations of environment that are not anticipated. However using system specific references and your unique environment information combined with this book should result in practical applications in less time than trying to set up from the RFC's.
I suggest you take in the information in small chunks and try the examples before moving on. There are plenty of diagrams to help you with the theory.
The Bottom line of RPC is to save big bucks by allowing the end user access to the computing power of the network systems at minimal cost.
