Practical coverage of critical topics -not "advanced" though, 05 Oct 2000
Only available book at time of writing (9/2000) that covers important topics e.g. garbage collection, performance / scalability, the POA. Much more useful than OMG/ORBIX/VisiBroker/TAO docs that just leave you guessing a lot. Essential reading for anybody deploying something more involved than a "Hello World" ... the limit of most other CORBA texts / examples. It could be less verbose though.
An outstanding reference!, 31 Aug 2000
One of the best reference books I have ever used. Impossible to read in its entirety, but on every page opened at random there is something interesting and relevant. A very complete and well-written text.
Great book about CORBA., 07 Dec 1999
This book has been a great help in developing a CORBA interface. I have found answers to almost all of my questions concerning CORBA and C++. The descriptions and examples are easy to understand, which adds further to this books value. If you are about to develop a client or server the uses CORBA and C++, this book is essential.
Great Book, 20 Aug 1999
If you are a COM programmer, I compare this book with Don Box's Essential COM, or Guy's Inside DCOM book. Excellent resource. I actually read this book some time ago, but never got to writing a review. IMHO, Today this is the authoritive book on CORBA in the market.
Excellent book for CORBA designer and developer, 17 Aug 1999
This is the best book I bought in the last year. It helped me to understand CORBA as designer as well as developer. Now I'm waiting for a well-written book about Advanced CORBA programming in JAVA.

A great Java/Corba book, but not for novices., 04 Jun 2007
This book is a bit heavy to read. I suggest you get a background introduction online first. Otherwise, it may leave you bewildered and confused with alot of technical material without some clear grounding in objects and references. There isn't enough balance in this book between theory and practical application. But, gives you a full in depth understanding of what Corba is and it's future. Make sure you understand fully how Java works before embarking on reading this book. However, it does cover some fundamental theories of Java and relates them to how they are extended in Corba.
Lack of good examples, 17 Mar 2003
I've the 2nd edition and although the book is nice there are a big lack of good examples and there are mistake in the code too. The table of contents is the same so i may guess they just update the material to follow the new spec' of CORBA, which may mean that the lack of good examples will go on.
Excellent Tutorial and Reference Book, 15 Aug 2002
An excellent book if you are new to Corba, or if you are looking to hone advanced techniques.
Covers, amongst other subjects, programming Portable Interceptors, and Portable Object Adapters, all with working Java examples.
The authors speak from experience. Specifically G Brose is the principle author and maintainer of the JacORB project. An excellent, and well specified open source Java ORB.
This book is a must for those interested in distributed computing and wondering what Corba has to offer.
Simply fantastic, 15 Oct 2001
A book of this calibre need no long rambling review. If you are looking to deploy complex corba solutions and use java somewhere in the mix then this book is for you. This is the bible as far as java + corba go!

A book for technical overview of creating distributed world, 22 Jul 2001
The book gave a very good overview of how to create a distributed virtual world especially using VRML and Java. It also gave some good web links to the distributed virtual worlds that are currently running on the web.However, the book falls short of actually detailing every aspect of it, leaving the reader to figure it out himself. This book is really a monograph, i think.

This book is really a monograph, i think. The best CORBA book for beginner/intermediate level, 26 Nov 2003
This is one of 6 CORBA books that I have (the other books are "Enterprise CORBA", "Java Programming with CORBA", "MICO: An Open Source CORBA Implementation", "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++" and "CORBA: Distributed Objects Using Orbix"). This is by far the best book that I have read for beginner or intermediate level. What I particularly like about the book is that it discusses C++ and Java programming side by side. This is very important because it helps you to understand which issues are general to CORBA and which are specific to one programming language. As far I as I know, this is the ONLY book that takes this dual-language approach to discussing CORBA. All the other books I have seen are either C++ specific or Java specific. There are so many different parts to CORBA (like lots of CORBA Services) that it is impossible for one book to discuss them all in detail (unless the book would be 2000+ pages long). So it is not possible for this book to cover EVERYTHING in detail, but the book focusses on PRINCIPLES. For example, the Portable Interceptors and CORBA Component Model chapters explain the high-level concepts very well, and leave me feeling comfortable that I will now be able to understand the low-level details if I read the official specifications. I would recommend the "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++" book (by Henning and Vinoski) as a follow-up book. But as far as introductory/intermediate CORBA books are concerned, "Pure CORBA" is the best available. By the way, the book's title is "Pure CORBA" rather than "Pure CORBA 3" (which is how Amazon lists it).

CORBA book for project management, 03 May 1999
This book is not a CORBA technical reference, but is a CORBA book for project management as the author correctly defined. And as a book for project management, this is a very good textbook. If you are a project manager, read it before your schedule delays or your presentation receives questions that you cannot answer. It's not fair to look for technical details in this book. Programmers should look for something else, but those who are responsible for the entire project including politics and relations in the company must read this book!! Even if your project has nothing to do with CORBA, this is a good text book for a systems engineers, systems analysts or project management.
Warning - author/publisher selling same book twice!, 15 Mar 1999
This book is the virtually identical to "DCOM Networking With Visual J++" from the same author and publisher. Both books are content-free and contain only vague discussions of general resource/development planning issues that have nothing to do with Java or CORBA.
