A wealth of working code gives you hands-on experience in building CORBA-compliant applications. In this valuable guide, Jon Siegel, Director of Domain Technology at the Object Management Group, and CORBA product development teams from across Europe and the United States present distributed object tutorial applications. Based on a common OMG IDL file, and worked in eight commercially available ORB environments using C, C++, and Smalltalk, the techniques presented in the example will help you write new programs faster at lower cost, and make existing programs easier to change, extend, and maintain. CORBA Fundamentals and Programming also provides you with all of the necessary technical background and details about CORBA, CORBAservices, and CORBAfacilities. Discussion of each component starts with its impact on your enterprise--which of your computing problems it solves, and how it does it--and includes enough detail to show how all the parts work together. Descriptions of eight representative ORBs showcase the diversity of the programming environments which work together under the CORBA banner. The final half of the book is devoted to the tutorial example. On the disk you'll find: All IDL interfaces Source code in C, C++, and Smalltalk Make files for eight ORB environments
This is a classic authored by one of the real "movers and shakers" of the OMG, but as others said is dated. I wish he'd update this work to cover the POA as well as other topics. Henning Vinosky does this and has been worth its weight in gold.
A little dated, but still very good

A fairly hype-free text on how to get CORBA up and running. Good for a starter text, but I still feel the need for some good reference information afterwords. Don't throw out your ORB documentation yet...Also, the text is circa 1996. Talks about a lot of stuff 'in progress.' I'd like to see a more recent version with updates to what the book speaks about.
good overview, examples - weak index, design options info

good architectural review, and great examples for coding your first client and server. Would have liked more info about: 1)designs for a large distributed client base 2) backup server registration/lookup ideas 3) actual executables, services, and repositories needed at distributed sites to handle client base
