for a first approach 2

Distributed technologies are presented individually and fairly quickly, it lacks a comparison of middleware. In addition, the book does not address the issue of the use of technology distributed under web applications and especially application servers.

I regret that the section on RMI is not completed by the study of the mechanism of activation and presentation development partterns as the object factory.

The title is misleading, architectural aspects are not really treated, however the book is a good support for a first approach of distributed technologies.
