Product Description

Product Description
A wealth of working code gives you hands–on experience in building CORBA–compliant applications.

In this valuable guide, Jon Siegel, Director of Domain Technology at the Object Management Group, and CORBA product development teams from across Europe and the United States present distributed object tutorial applications. Based on a common OMG IDL file, and worked in eight commercially available ORB environments using C, C++, and Smalltalk, the techniques presented in the example will help you write new programs faster at lower cost, and make existing programs easier to change, extend, and maintain.

CORBA Fundamentals and Programming also provides you with all of the necessary technical background and details about CORBA, CORBAservices, and CORBAfacilities. Discussion of each component starts with its impact on your enterprise—which of your computing problems it solves, and how it does it—and includes enough detail to show how all the parts work together. Descriptions of eight representative ORBs showcase the diversity of the programming environments which work together under the CORBA banner. The final half of the book is devoted to the tutorial example.

On the disk you′ll find:

  • All IDL interfaces
  • Source code in C, C++, and Smalltalk
  • Make files for eight ORB environments

4.0 out of 5 stars We need an updated edition, 19 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is a classic authored by one of the real "movers and shakers" of the OMG, but as others said is dated. I wish he'd update this work to cover the POA as well as other topics. Henning Vinosky does this and has been worth its weight in gold.

1.0 out of 5 stars Full Of NON-SENSE (0 *) : Is This For Computer Scientists?, 12 Jun 1999
By A Customer
If possible, I WOULD GIVE THIS FAT, USELESS, WORD-SMEARED COLLECTION OF PAPERS A ZERO STAR RATING (amazon.com should think about this option). The money I spent was a COMPLETE WASTE. I don't know how this book got so many stars! Well, I guess next time I will have to be more careful about the reviews. About two third of the book is virtually an advertisement for CORBA, as if the authors were taking a test and answering the question, "Describe the advantages of CORBA (50% of your grade)". The technicality of CORBA could be described more succinctly and more lucidly. I think the intention of salesmanship was the killjoy. In fact there was nothing much you could get from the LONG, WINDED sections. Only a small fraction of the SUPER-BORING first two third of this notorious book (more precisely, some diagrams only) gave real technical overview. In stead of dreams they could talk about realities. And the example (the selection of a nice example was the only good thing about this book).... Oh, the code could be arranged in so many better ways and written so much more professionally!! Pages on the use of different ORBs were anything but useful! Couldn't they do a better job at least here? Well, IF YOU LIKE TO EAT 1-TON OF JUNK TO GET 1-OUNCE OF NUTRITION (or even better, real FOOD), go ahead, BUY THIS GIBBERISH-TALK STUFF. Or else think before you leap!

5.0 out of 5 stars Answers both your "what" AND "how" questions, 1 Nov 1998
By A Customer
All I knew was the acronym CORBA, but this book has taken me a long way. It addresses the CORBA architecture as well as runs a book wide example with C, C++ and Smalltalk. It does sound somewhat old when it fails to mention language mapping availability for JAVA, however that did not bother me at all. It is an excellent book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little dated, but still very good
A fairly hype-free text on how to get CORBA up and running. Good for a starter text, but I still feel the need for some good reference information afterwords. Read more
