Teach Yourself CORBA in 14 Days is a tutorial that will provide an introduction to distributed system development using CORBA. The first week will provide the reader with much needed guidance towards the general concepts of distributed software development and CORBA architecture such as Object Request Broker (ORBs), and Interface Definition Language (IDL). It will build upon the principles of object-oriented analysis and design, with concepts of distributed objects, and other key CORBA-related issues such as memory management and design patterns forced by the CORBA architecture. The second week will take everything the reader has learned to that point, and apply it in a step-by-step manner for building a CORBA-based system. In addition to the basics, the reader will learn a few of the key advanced concepts and higher-level services that are sometimes required for certain CORBA.

4.0 out of 5 stars So-so for beginners, 5 April 1999

By A Customer

This is a good book for beginners. One can learn a lot from the source code in the book. However, there are some problems with it. For example, the very first code sample uses the Name Service and the book does not says how to have one running. Without it, the first code sample will comply but cannot run. This would be very confusing for the reader. This book will be great as long as one has a reference guide for the CORBA environment being used.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for beginners, 29 Mar 1999

By A Customer

The first 6 days have more conceptual substance than the latter ones. From day 7 and on it was relatively easy reading (although it may not be all that bad for a beginner to reinforce what was learned earlier). Couple of items on the wish list: it would be beneficial if some of the "black magic" (like smart agent) is explained away somewhat; also it seems some of the example code for functions returning a sequence has an error (the sequence constructor actually sets the max size only, and doesn't really allocate memory needed for the elements, so running the code would raise an exception -- at least this is what I got with VisiBroker 3.3 for C++). Over all, it is a good book and I recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another marathon bank app packed into 2 chapters (ugh!), 7 Aug 1999

By A Customer

Like George Reese's jdbc book, better for impressing than conveying. Endless pages of code and very little expanation. To be avoided.
