Product Description

From Amazon

Written for the experienced C++ developer facing real-world CORBA for the first time, Advanced CORBA Programming with C++ is a useful guide to today's most popular standard for distributed computing.

After a quick tour of CORBA basics, the authors jump right in with a minimum skeleton application written in C++. From there, they provide truly extensive coverage of CORBA IDL, along with many tips for using IDL data types in C++. (They cover advanced features such as any, TypeCode, and DynAny later in the book.).

Next the book unveils its sample application--a distributed climate control system. Material on the Portable Object Adapter and the Object Life Cycle, including garbage collection strategies, rounds out this section. Additional chapters examine the details of Object Request Brokers (ORBs), including Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP), repositories, and binding. The authors also present CORBA's built-in APIs for Naming, Trading, and Event Services (including asynchronous event handling), which is most useful as reference material.

Final sections examine strategies for better scalability, including multithreading and optimizing network traffic for CORBA objects. The authors provide numerous short excerpts of C++ code, though it must be said that much of this book is reference material rather than a hands-on programming tutorial. --Richard Dragan

Review

Henning and Vinoski have written the book on CORBA with C++. -- Douglas C. Schmidt, Washington University, St. Louis

It's positively great. We finally have something that actually covers the topic from the point of view of the standard, rather than a proprietary implementation. -- Jon Biggar, Floorboard Software

This review is from: Advanced CORBA® Programming with C++ (Paperback)

As the title states this is a book for advanced programmers. Not the kind of book I would recommend to someone looking to pick up a book and the learn from it. Might serve as an excellent reference source.

David Golash (Westford, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Advanced CORBA® Programming with C++ (Paperback)

Good book. Worth the money. There is a a lot of material here and it is pretty well organized. Some of the examples assume to much - they would be better if they showed complete code segements. If you needed to get one book on C++ and CORBA, this would be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars One book to buy? This'd be it..
Don't wish to wade through book after book? This book would be the one to buy! The concepts are clearly defined and the code examples are fairly easy to follow. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not easy to read but challenging...
The book is composed from two books. It's a mix of CORBA reference and tutorial. You have two books in one what is really great! Read more
