Summary: The 5 principles are golden
Comment: Both of the previous reviewers have missed the point. This book proposes that the architecture for all distributed systems should follow 5 main principles, and it is the first book that I've seen to identify these issues in a clear and precise way. The book then goes on to demonstrate some ways that you can implement a distributed system which adheres to these 5 principles using today's technology. I recommend this book for senior-level system architects. Programmers who offer expertise on one or two areas may not find the book as interesting.

Summary: It's the future
Comment: This book demonstrates how web sites will be built in the future. LDAP (especially relevant for Windows 2000 development), XML, it's all in there. I would have liked to see more emphasis on Windows 2000, but understandably this is a book about what you can do with today's technology.

Regarding the previous review.. wire efficiency is not everything. XML provides interoperability and can better withstand evolution than COM interfaces. I too was concerned about wire efficiency but from my own experience, the time saved in development thanks to XML far outweighed the performance concerns.

Summary: Save your money, don't buy this book.
Comment: A book that takes the reader all over the place. The author pretty much cut and pasted the words from numeruous sources(plagiarism comes to mind) The author is neither an expert nor very good writer. The MSDN contains the same exact information so go there and save your dollars for a better book.
