Product Description
To make distributed objects work in a heterogeneous environment, developers must bridge the gap between Microsoft's COM/DCOM and the industry CORBA standard. This is the first complete, up-to-date guide to doing so. It starts with easy-to-understand descriptions of both COM and CORBA, exploding the myth of complexity that surrounds these technologies. Next, it delivers a step-by-step guide to building your own working, scalable and transparent COM/CORBA systems, integrating Windows and UNIX. The CD-ROM includes MS-Access source code for all examples, plus trial versions of IONA's Orbix COMet, the first commercial bridge for linking COM and CORBA modules, and OrbixWEB 3.0 tools for building Internet-based CORBA Server applications.
