CORBA objects are chunks of reusable intelligence that can exist anywhere on a network. This work combines client/server computing with the architecture and methodologies of CORBA and object-oriented programming. It provides programs and technical know-how to implement those concepts and theories into workable everyday business applications. Topics covered include: objects and the Web; a CORBA client/server style guide; coding examples in C++, Java and Joe (network Java); products and methodologies like SOM3 and CORBA 2.0. Programs that can run on Windows 95, Windows NT and OS/2 Warp Software are included on the CD, which include: 10 functional client/server programs that will run on Windows 95, Windows NT and OS/2 Warp; C++ and Java Orbs; and applications written in Joe.
