Client/Server computing is of great importance for corporations trying to improve their company's competitive edge with computer systems. CORBA stands for Common Object Request Broker Architecture. 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.
