This CD-ROM is the first in a series of 6 volumes that provides a
comprehensive multimedia reference on an important distributed computing technology.
Volume 1 provides an overview of CORBA, suitable for those with a casual interest as well
as those who wish to develop a solid foundation of the fundamentals for further
exploration. In addition, the CD-ROM presents some history and background on CORBA, the
organization that sponsors it and the architecture within which it fits.
A hypertext MAP provides single-click access to any slide within the tutorial:
Volume 1 presents CORBA within the context of the OMG's Object Management Architecture.
A discussion of distributed computing architectures is presented, along with an
explanation of the decision making process which led to the CORBA standard.
Static and dynamic approaches to distributed object communication are explained.
And the CORBA architecure is examined, one component at a time.
A discussion of CORBA from the perspective of a programming framework introduces the core
interfaces,
advanced interfaces,
and the Interface Repository, as a prelude to the next three volumes of the series.
Introduction to CORBA builds the foundation for the comprehensive discussions that follow
in the other Complete CORBA tutorial volumes.
With this CD-ROM, your desk is the ideal place to get started learning this fundamentally
important internet and distributed computing technology.
In conjunction with Volume 2, Basic CORBA, this CDROM
makes it more convenient than ever to master the complexities of developing distributed OO
applications using CORBA.
