Book Description
Create powerful applications in a variety of different programming environments -- including Visual C++, C++Builder, Visual J++, and more -- with CORBA, an all-in-one solution to cross-platform, distributed client/server programming.
CORBA stands for Common Object Request Broker Architecture, central to the world of distributed heterogeneous object-oriented computing...and that's about as complicated and technical as CORBA For Dummies gets. CORBA makes it easier than ever to create software that runs as clients and servers and to run them on different machines connected by a network or the Internet. Here's a glimpse of the skills you can master with CORBA For Dummies:*Working with ORBs (Object Request Brokers), the cornerstones of CORBA*Creating a client and a server object, in both C++ and Java, that communicate via an ORB*Developing Beans for CORBA*Saving time by using CORBAservices*Building a bridge between CORBA and DCOM applications*Making the most of the new Visual development environment for all the latest CORBA and Java toolsThis essential survival guide to CORBA (which covers Version 3 as well as earlier versions) also comes with a CD-ROM packed with valuable software and programming tools, including the JavaBeans Development Kit, JDK 1.1.6, and demo versions of several Web evaluation tools, plus all the code you find inside the book.
Synopsis
CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecure) is a standard that allows programmers using a variety of tools to work together in creating applications that can be distributed across various computing platforms. CORBA allows applications to communicate with one another no matter where they are located or who has designed them. This is called "distributed computing". CORBA is the oldest standard, and its biggest competitor in the mid-to-late-1990s is Microsoft whose DCOM (Distributed Computing Project Object Model) is found in ActiveX. This text guides IT professionals, project managers, software developers, network administrators and general programmers from planning and training for a distributed computing project, through to completing both small and large CORBA-based applications. Programmers working on distributed computing projects create standalone sections of code called objects or commponents that are joined with others to create the whole application. Coverage in the text includes creating CORBA-compliant objects with various languages, sharing CORBA objects across several platforms, object capabilites on Web servers and problem-solving strategy with CORBA. Readers will also be advised on when to use distributed computing and example code for CORBA compliant objects.
