RMI -- Client/Server Programming in Java

• The Sun RMI home page
• Sun's RMI tutorial. Here you'll find a short and simple example to start with. And that's always the way to proceed in this business.
• The jGuru RMI short course
• Professor Backlawski, in our College, has a one web page RMI tutorial
• A discussion of RMI books, describing two and mentioning a newer one by Grosso. I prefer the Oberg one myself, and the Grosso book is not getting good reviews on Amazon. But it's not unusual for on-line reviewers to write critical comments about things they don't understand well, as I noticed in some of the comments on the Grosso book.
• An extensive course at San Diego State
