Review: book is easy to read and excellent information

Rating:
Summary: Poorly Wriiten book
Review: I do not recommend this book at all. It is poorly written with a lot of errors and with no continuity from topic to topic. The descriptions about methods in the book are not useful at all. The book is apparently a verbatim copy of JAVA programming with CORBA. The authors did not even have the respect to the reader to replace the word JAVA by C++, in a number of places the book talks about JAVA. I do not recommend this book at all. I hope the editors at Wiley pay more attention to the books they send to the printing press. The time I spend reading this book was a total waste not to mention the money I paid.

Summary: disappointed
Review: I wanted to learn corba with this book but I realized that I have to rely on other sources to learn about it. This book contains excerpts from a book about corba with java and not c++, where the reference to java was not even removed and replaced by c++. Furthermore even as the unexperienced reader in corba I found many mistakes in this book regarding object and function definitions.

Summary: Not the greatest
Review: I'm a novice at CORBA and this book didn't prep me properly. Examples seemed to be Java examples ported over to C++. It was more of a reference than a learning tool. I've looked over the CORBA spec and a lot of the material from the spec is in the book almost verbatim.
