Product Description
Product Description
This book provides designers and developers the tools required to understand CORBA technology at the architectural, design, and code levels.This book offers hands-on explanations for building efficient applications, as well as lucid examples that provide practical advice on avoiding costly mistakes. With this book as a guide, programmers will find the support they need to successfully undertake CORBA development projects. The content is systematically arranged and presented so the book may be used as both a tutorial and a reference. The rich example programs in this definitive text show CORBA developers how to write clearer code that is more maintainable, portable, and efficient. The authors' detailed coverage of the IDL-to-C++ mapping moves beyond the mechanics of the APIs to discuss topics such aspotential pitfalls and efficiency. An in-depth presentation of the new Portable Object Adapter (POA) explains how to take advantage of its numerous features to create scalable and high-performance servers. In addition, detailed discussion of advanced topics, such as garbage collection and multithreading, provides developers with the knowledge they need to write commercial applications.
From the Back Cover
Here is the CORBA book that every C++ software engineer has been waiting for. Advanced CORBA® Programming with C++ provides designers and developers with the tools required to understand CORBA technology at the architectural, design, and source code levels. This book offers hands-on explanations for building efficient applications, as well as lucid examples that provide practical advice on avoiding costly mistakes. With this book as a guide, programmers will find the support they need to successfully undertake industrial-strength CORBA development projects.

Customer Reviews
The text of this book is crearly written and is amply supported by well documented code examples. The authors provide alternative implementations and then proceed to assess the various implementations. Scalability and performance issues are discussed.
If you're going to do CORBA, or you just want to learn about it, and you're a hands-on, no-nonsense person, then this book is for you. It won't replace the OMG specs, but it makes them MUCH easier to understand.
However, early printings (I think the first and second printings) had a major flaw: the examples used a very unsafe C++ programming style -- using side-effects in `assert's. One of the authors has confirmed that this has been fixed in the third printing. So -- caveat emptor, try to get the third printing of this book.
