Engineering Distributed Objects

By Wolfgang Emmerich

Da Computer, Unternehmen, Abteilungen, Informationen und Mitarbeiter zunehmend räumlich voneinander getrennt werden, müssen sie miteinander vernetzt werden. Deshalb sind Software-Entwickler gefordert, die Erstellung von Anwendungen für verteilte Systeme zu beherrschen. Dieser Band richtet sich an Entwickler, die bisher noch nichts mit verteilten Umgebungen zu tun hatten. Er eignet sich als Begleiter verschiedenster Aus- und Fortbildungskurse und legt seinen Schwerpunkt auf die Anwendungsentwicklung. Middleware-Konzepte und Prinzipien werden anhand von Beispielen mit OMG/CORBA, Microsoft COM und Java/RMI erklärt. (03/00)

Great introduction to distributed programming

I took a university class on distributed programming this year that required this book. I found it a great introduction and even a comprehensive overview of COM, RMI, and especially CORBA. However, if you're looking for code examples and step-by-step howto using a particular language, you won't find much of it in this book. Distributed programming concepts are covered quite extensively, but one of the core fundamental principles of distributed programming is heterogeneity, both hardware and software. Thus, this books takes a more abstract view of distributed programming than a "Here's how to do it in Java..." or "Here's how to do it in C++..."

Important New Book in Distributed Systems Development

This book covers an area of increasing importance, ie the design and implementation of modern distributed object systems. It combines details of the technologies, eg. CORBA and COM, with design notations and issues, eg. UML and scalability. As such, it fills a very important gap in the market and deserves to be successful. I know of no other book that tackes these issues in the same coherent manner.I have been teaching these topics for the last three years on undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and have had to use a variety of different literature resouces. This book now provides me with an excellent core text - well written and presented, with good explanations of complex issues. Many thanks, Wolfgang. I can thoroughly recommend this book to teachers and researchers in this area.
