Summary: Excellent book
Review: Explains concepts better then other books I've found including Orfali. Explains Visibroker tool set which Visibroker does not document well i.e. OSAgent and OAD. Also does a good job inre explaining CosNaming and helping you think in IDL.

Summary: *The* book for the serious VisiBroker programmer
Review: I am very disappointed with most CORBA books, e.g. the Martian books fill me with dismay and make me wonder whether CORBA will ever make it. But this is a proper book, this is a book that tells you facts. I have printed out the on-line manuals for VisiBroker, and read them, and this book taught me heaps more stuff.I absolutely recommend this book for anyone who has to write a VisiBroker program which is more than just a bank example. We have a team of developers, and the book is in such demand that I have to get a second copy. This book is not a tutorial, and it is not about general CORBA. If you buy VisiBroker, you should buy this book as well.

Summary: Great Book, Best CORBA Book so far ....
Review: I had a Java/TCP app and quickly moved it to Java/Visibroker using this book. The book is very similar to The Official Visibroker for Java Handbook.

Summary: The ONLY book you need for programming Visibroker using Java
Review: I've purchased three or four other books on CORBA and the only one that's of any use to me is this book. I wish I could return the others (including the Orfali book). Bottom line is if your programming Visibroker in Java BUY this book. Also refer to the Visibroker docs on-line at the Inprise website.

Summary: Excellent book. Only BOA coverage though.
Review: The presentation of the book is great. I did not find the general CORBA section all that useful, but the later sections provided some valuable insights. My main criticism is that the book is getting slightly dated. There is no coverage of the POA. The current edition is totally BOA based. A couple of chapters by the authors on using Visibroker to handle transactions would be really welcome as well. I am looking forward to the next edition.

Summary: Good but you need JBuilder3
Review: This book give a good explanation about the most famous ORB in the world, Visibroker. The short problem is that the writers don't explain how we have to integrate with a useful IDE. If you plain to buy this book, get Jbuilder first and enjoy it with Visibroker.

Summary: This is a great CORBA book!
Review: This book is the only book I plan on buying in this subject area
Rating:
Summary: Great book!
Review: This is the best book out there on Visibroker. It may also happen to be the only book out there on Visibroker! :) That aside, this is an excellent book. Some minor flaws in diagrams, but the examples are straight-forward enough such that you will likely catch the errors.

Summary: Difficult English
Review: Well have not read this book from page 1 to the end
yet, but I just do not think it is that good.
The main thing I have against it, is that it
uses to difficult sentences to explain some
simple things. Not that great for someone who's
native language is not english anyway.
I will review this opinion if I read it totally.
