When the computer networks born in 1970s, distribution computing was coming in the vision, from that time to now. Variety of RPC/IPC mechanism were invited into the world. I think at least some of them are very familiar with you:
- BSD Socket
- telnet
- FTP
- SMTP/POP3/IMAP
- NNTP
- RSH/RLOGIN
- ONC-RPC / DEC-RPC
- NFS
- HTTP
- XMPP
- SSH
- CORBA/IIOP/GIOP
- DCOM/COM
- Java/RMI
- SOAP/Web Service
- XML-RPC
- JSON
Because the IT industry always need the fresh blood!!!
Something else changed, you also want to change yours. :)
人都是喜新厌旧的!
