Review
Vijay K. Garg introduces concepts, models and algorithms suited to distributed computing and presents them in Java. This way, the reader can see that these algorithms can be effectively implemented (and that there is no "hidden mystery" within the model or the algorithms). The approach used by the author is very appealing as it demystifies concepts that could be considered "too theoretical" to be useful. This book successfully takes up the challenge to nicely merge theory and practice. It can consequently benefit both communities. I stronlgy recommend the book to people interested in the design and implementation of distributed systems.
