Response from readers has been phenomenal. If you visit some of the major
bookstores on-line, you'll find an awful lot of praise for my books. Check
out the reader reviews at Amazon.Com or the ongoing chat in the Barnes and
Noble online discussion area if you care to. I don't pretend to understand
what the fuss is all about but a reader who recently read an article I wrote
for PC Magazine on CORBA/IIOP and distributed computing summed it up pretty
well by saying "Reading your article was an eye-opening experience. You
managed to introduce the whole of [distributed computing] in lucid detail.
I've attempted to read entire books on the subject and this same material
would have filled several chapters yet you did what they couldn't with only a
few pages. You've got a new fan."
My only hope is that readers continue to enjoy my work and let me know
from time to time how my books and articles help them get ahead. If you are
looking for a computer book, I hope you'll check out the books listed below.
