This isn't a book. It's a $50 pamphlet.

"Understanding CORBA" was written by two software engineers at the now-defunct Digital Equipment Corp. This dinky book reads very much like a DEC manual from the "good old days": dry and uninformative. Reading the book may not give anyone much insight into CORBA, but it will give you an idea of why DEC is no longer around.


It's not a book, it's a pamphlet.

This skinny text barely skims CORBA's surface. It was written by a couple of software engineers at DEC, and it is just as dry and uninformative as any DEC manual. Reading this book, you may not learn much about CORBA, but you'll gain some insight as to why DEC is no longer around.


Good introduction for the uninitiated

This was a good introductory book for CORBA, targeting readers with only elementary knowledge of operating systems and programming. Advanced readers who want to get an introduction to CORBA will find this book readable but unsatisfactory.
