Summary: good start!
Comment: This book is fun to read and inspiring, because the authors seam to love what they write about. Sometimes, however, the style is a little close to "commercial advertising". The concepts and visions sound evident, the technology is explained at the right level of abstraction. If you have time, read this book as an introduction to Corba before buying a real programmer's guide to corba.

Summary: A good, high level introduction to CORBA concepts.
Comment: I dissagree with [email protected]. This book is an easy to read, lighthearted text that explains CORBA concepts without getting bogged down by technical semantics.
It's an excellent precursor to further technical reading.

Summary: Instant CORBA Marketing Glossies
Comment: Don't bother. This book contains just enough information to make you think there's probably something here but you'd be wrong. Some of the chapters are so skinny it's not clear why there there at all. For example Naming Services: Naming in a nutshell, 2 pages, How it works, < 1 page.
The authors' declared pattern to the book's exposition, which would be great if it were actually executed to a substantive level, is to enumerate the service APIs and then "demonstrate" the use of the service. But alot of this stuff is actually very deep subject matter. Take Transactions and Concurrency, for example. Reading this chapter (15 pages) will either make you feel that you missed something big (and you did, it's just not in this book) or that you got ... (and you might be right on with that assessment too).
