Seminars That Make Sense of Client/Server

The Socrates Group offers seminars that cover all aspects of client/server computing, including its roots, conceptual models, architectures, hardware, operating systems, connectivity, costs, risks, and much more. The concepts and methods presented enable the rapid creation of distributed information systems that support continuously changing business needs. Organizational, managerial, and human issues that invariably arise in every client/server project are carefully addressed.

Socrates Group seminars are intense, fast-paced, and involving, with lively and colorful demonstrations and graphics that clarify difficult concepts. Examples of real-world client/server successes and failures highlight common problems and solutions. Dialogue rather than lecture, each seminar adapts to the particular needs of each class. And illustrated course notes, echoing the presentation, become valuable reference material when a seminar is completed.

Following are brief descriptions of Socrates Group seminars, with an option for viewing each in greater detail.
