About the Book

Formerly a part of AT&T's Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies Inc. is uniquely positioned to mark the starting point of a new class of operating systems with the introduction of Inferno. Lucent's Inferno is a distributed operating system, which means that the Inferno kernel can reside on a number of different devices and appliances which can be programmed to work together. Instead of housing applications and data on a single computer, Inferno acts as a conduit for the free flow of applications and data that reside across multiple networked computers. By using applications and data that are distributed across a network such as the Internet, this architecture allows all sorts of devices -- not just PCs -- to share data and programs. The only way to program the Inferno distributed operating system is with the Limbo programming language. This book is a comprehensive developers guide to Inferno programming using Limbo.This book serves as an authoritative guide to the Limbo programming language and the Inferno distributed operating system. Inferno is Lucent Technologies' first major offering since its creation as a software and hardware vendor of products; the technology offers the ability to deliver interactive media content within Inferno-created applications. The book begins with an overview of and introduction to this operating system, teaching users how to obtain, install, use, and extend Inferno and its supporting technologies. Then it teaches readers how to write Inferno applications using the Limbo programming language. -- Comprehensive guide to Inferno's Limbo programming language -- Discusses how Inferno differs from and interacts with Java -- Presents a hands-onapproach to using Inferno on UNIX, Windows NT, and Windows 95 systems
