Summary: Kudos to Mr Boltan for a brilliant Corba book!
Comment: Over the past couple of years I've read a number of Corba books and found all of them lacking in either content or structure and sometimes both! This book by Fintan Boltan is absolutely superb and by far the best. I've yet to find any major weaknesses with it...

Summary: Excellent!!!
Comment: What a great book!! This is THE book to read if you want to begin writing applications in CORBA! It covers both C++ and Java programming with CORBA and each of these languages are given equal priority. I have this book as well as the books: Java programming with Corba 3rd Edition and the H&V Advanced Corba programming with C++. Corba is a bit confusing at first and in my opinion, this book gives you the best introduction to Corba which will allow you later to read any of the other Corba books easily (The others are a bit confusing at first). Chapter 7 which explains POA policies in detail is very delicious and highly important. POA policies in my opinion are the most confusing subject to a Corba beginner and this book explains them clearly. I am a Java programmer so I haven't done a lot of reading in the H&V book, but for anyone who is planning to program in Java with Corba, I highly suggest that you buy this book along with Java programming with Corba 3rd Edition by Brose, Vogel & Duddy which covers some very interesting Corba Services that are not in this book like the Notification service, Trading Service and the PSS. Also, you might be interested in the Enterprise Corba book by Slama, Garbis and Russell if you are planning on building a large scale Corba System. In conculsion this book is very clear with lots of good examples! Get it along with possibly another book, but don't forget to download the OMG specs which will come in handy as a reference.

Summary: Outstanding introduction and reference
Comment: I have been using CORBA for the past year, and had really been struggling until I found this book. I used Henning and Vinoski's book, which I am sure has all the information, but to my mind arranged in a deeply confusing and inefficient manner - for example, the naming service does not appear until page 771, the examples until that point relying on stringified references which no-one would use in practice. It has been a huge relief to find Mr Bolton's book. After a brief once-over lightly in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 contains an excellent introduction to the basic concepts, by starting with a basic application, and adding features such as exception handling and use of the naming service step by step. Chapters 3 through 8 cover the basic concepts in detail, including excellent coverage of memory management, the POA (Vinoski & Henning's chapter on this had me baffled for several readings of it) and the naming server. The rest of the book contains treatment of a number of more advanced topics. An excellent book.
