Redbook Abstract
Designing Java Applications for Network Computers, SG24-5111-00
  Abstract
Although the term thin client is relatively new, Network Computers in various forms have been in the marketplace for years now, along side traditional Intel-based PCs. However, the Java application designer and developer will quickly discover that writing Java applications for Network Computers introduces certain challenges and issues that must be addressed in order to maintain a functional, robust and user-friendly application environment.

This redbook is intended for the reader who is comfortable with concepts and implementation of client/server applications using Intel-based clients. With this base, this redbook describes many of the issues related to the design and implementation of Java applications on Network Computers. In addition, we describe the Network Computing Framework (NCF) and its relationship with Network Computers, as well as basic software maintenance issues in the context of thin clients.
