Customer Reviews:

Excelent! The advanced Orbix book I was looking for!

It's a real joy to read this book. I found both a confirmation to some of my expreirnce from previous real life projects and some new exciting ideas! The book is very honest pointing out both the weak and strong areas of CORBA.

It should be read by any one interested in advanced & architecture issues or CORBA, but is a real hit for the Orbix community.

The first book on application server internals!

This book could have been subtitled "The Science of Application Servers." Well-written and extremely comprehensive!

Up-to-date and highly relevant

I found this book to be quite up-to-date. It spends a considerable amount of time examining the POA and discusses many of the pieces of the CORBA3 specification individually. However the most valuable aspect was its coverage of distributed system design issues which are widely applicable across different technologies.

Out of Date

The CORBA 3 spec is about to be finalized and this book doesn't mention word one about it. Don't buy this book and wait for an update. Better yet, find a superior book on CORBA (there are many) and save your money on this one!

Where's The CODE???

I don't want to say that this is a bad book, but it's not for anyone who'd like to see examples implementing some of the concepts they write about. There are only snippets of CORBA IDL. If you're one of those people, save your money for Advanced Corba Programming with C++. I should have.
