This guide provides an overview of Client/Server architecture as it stood in 1994-5. Client-server models partition tasks in a computer program between providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients. Often clients and servers communicate over a computer network on separate hardware, but both client and server may reside in the same system. The most obvious example client-server models is the World Wide Web: a client computer (a machine at home, for instance) talks to a server (operated by the host of a website) and both machines contribute to bringing the user the desired information (in this case a webpage on the user's screen). This guidebook was produced by Quidnunc Group, a software consultancy firm. Though it does not advertise specific products produced by Quidnunc, it makes clear their expertise in the area to interested clients. Date : 1994Creator : Quidnunc Group plc.
