I'm interested in developing an application which will need to send data over a network. Apologies if the following is a bit vague, i'm just trying to get this sorted in my head so please correct me where it makes so sense.
Remote procedure calls work on Windows systems, but am i correct that this is limited to microsoft only? If the communication was to involve a unix system would i need to look at tcp/ip directly?
If the above makes sense, is using RPC easier than tcp/ip and if so what are the advantages of not using rpc? Is it all related to interoperability with different platforms?
Thanks.
