Summary: Object-Oriented Frameworks Using C++ and CORB
Review: A very well written and practical book. The examples in the book are very good which help in making the understanding of the subject very easy.
Rating:
Summary: An excellent book on Frameworks/C++
Review: An excellent book on Frameworks and C++. Although some reviewers have written quite scathing reviews, I find the topics the book coveres are really good and useful. The sidebars are quite good and informative. However, this book is not for those people who are used to read "blue-sky" Java books. I recommended this book for strong C++ people.

Summary: A book for a computer science major - not a cook book.
Review: Deals with concepts of OOP and introduces the OO framework and then object model for CORBA. It is deals more with the concepts behind the code rather than give you code samples to cut and paste. Many of the programming concepts are intuitive if you know where you are and where you want to go. This book gives you an idea about the starting point and the final destination in OOP and couple of known paths to get there.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Every topic it discusses, C++, CORBA, design patterns, frameworks etc. is discussed in a superficial manner.A person who has any knowledge of the topics will find that they learn nothing new reading this book. A person who has no experience in any of the topics will not learn enough to do anything usefull. Frankly, this book falls into the category that all too many new technical books falls into. One gets the feeling that the reader is suposed to take notes using a crayola.

Summary: Not enough detail
Review: I am thoroughly dissappointed with this book. I purchased it because I am in the middle of a project that requires the use of CORBA. I am now purchasing another book, since this one did not cover the topic in enough depth to make me comfortable with the technology. I would consider the book an overview of framework development. It attempts to cover enough material to allow C programmers to transition to C++ OOP. It wastes a lot of time rehashing the same points repeatedly, which gets real tiring after the 10th time you've read the same point. Since it tries to cover so much material, it fails to obtain the necessary depth in any of them. It teaches just enough to whet your appetite for a better book. Finally, the title is misleading. It is not an advanced book, since it only covers the basics of C++, OOP, UML and CORBA.

Summary: An excellent contribution to OO literature.
Review: It is a book that teaches concepts of OO in a plain English! However, this is not an ordinary OO book. This is the first book that I have ever seen that explains concepts of object-oriented frameworks using many simple and small C++ examples. What I like about the book that it also covers CORBA programming (in C++) in the context of design patterns and frameworks. This is done very convincingly. I found the Notes, and Sidebars in the chapters very useful. However, I recommend this book only for professional C++ programmers because the book presents ideas at advanced level. A must for those C++ programmers who understands polymorphism, reuse and inheritance very well, and want to know more about as to how to use these ideas in implementing design patterns and OO frameworks. Another good thing about this book is that unlike other OO books, this book presents a good deal of examples to back the theories. Not a verbose book; just uses many C++ examples to get to the point.

Summary: very good overview of corba architecture
Review: Just browse through some portion of the book, it's very well written, various aspects of design pattern, framework and corba implementation were well covered. Lacked of depth/detail was its shortingcoming, but was well compensated by its architecture overview, after all I wasn't expect a programmer's reference
Rating:
Summary: excellent quick coverage of CORBA and C++ techniques
Review: This book does a remarkable job of covering the CORBA and C++ technique from an OO perspective. The examples chosen are well thought of and moderately complex, giving a taste of good C++ practice as well. It assumes familiarity with C++, thus saving time and space on teaching from scratch.
Rating:
Summary: A nice C++ book in understanding OO frameworks concetps
Review: This book provides you the good foundation in understanding OO framework concepts. It also provides lot of C++ code that most of the so-called technical books tend to ignore. The book presents ideas and programs very clearly. If you are not familiar with framework concepts, read this book.
