Java Programming With Corba

Summary: Not good for teaching
Review: I read this book from starting, when I started trying to use the excercises by downloading from the authors recommended site it was failing beacuse all the programs author wrote was using Visibroker's ORB implementation(not with the Java1.2 ORB implementation). The language author used merely confuses you when you try to understand the program from his explaination given above each implementaion of the program. You can't even understand where the implementation of the program started or ended this is the case with his examples in 8th chapter of this book which also has lot of printing mistakes with missing underscores "_". I am tired of trying to read and then spending half an hour on understanding what he actually meant(Big waste of time). Some times you may wonder whether he is trying to explain you or confuse you. Please look for some other good book, I lost money but you can save yours.

Thank You

Summary: Perfect for Professionals
Review: If you are competent in Java and have experience using CORBA in a C/C++ environment, this is THE book to read! Our company has a large number of developers who have been using CORBA in a C++ environment who are being thrust into the Java world very quickly, and this is the perfect book for them. Unlike any of Orfali's books (practically the only other author in the arena it seems), you won't find cartoon martians or management-level pep-talks, or discussions of OTHER distributed environments (i.e. DCOM) in this essential volume.On the flip side, if you are new to CORBA, or have no experience in Java, you will need more background to get the most of this book.

Summary: Obsolete
Review: This book refers to obsolete technology. It was published in 1997. Much has changed after that. Get the third edition.
