Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The authors can learn a lot from Vinoski's book
Review: All of the other books cover old versions of CORBA, but this book covers only CORBA 3.0. The examples could be better, but that's ok since the topics are so well covered. I read the first few chapters, and now I use this book as reference all the time. I highly recommend this book to any Java programmer. If you are a C++ programmer, this book can still be useful but not much.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The authors can learn a lot from Vinoski's book
Review: This is a 100% superficial book. Dont waste any money on this. It doesn t deal with the the concepts at all. But then the examples are horrible too. Though it has the namestamp of CORBA 3.0, everything is totally vague. I will strongly suggest Advanced Corba Programming in C++ for everyone - no matter if you are doing C++ or Java. This I beleive is the only book worth spending money in CORBA.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good book!
Review: This is a great book that covers a lot! Corba is a bit difficult at first for the beginner. This book attempts to explain the complex Corba architecture clearly, but you may still be highly confused in the beginning. Don't worry and be patient, Corba is complex and after you start understanding how Corba is designed, you'll really start to appreciate this book which is filled with a lot of detailed info on Corba. It not only Covers the basic Corba topics like the IDL to Java mapping, the POA policies (very important), the Naming Service and DII&DSI, but also covers advanced topics like the Trading Service, Notification Service and the PSS. Other advanced topics include Security, Performance and Management. I also highly recommend the Pure Corba Book by Bolton which might be a bit easier to read in the beginning for a Corba newbie.
