Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung wird es immer wichtiger, verteilte und unterschiedliche Objekte integriert einsetzen zu können. Corba (die Common Object Request Broker Architecture) ist ein Standard, der eine Middleware zur Integration verteilter Objekte definiert. Zukunftsweisend ist dabei neben der technologischen Qualität die Herstellerunabhängigkeit dieses Standards, der dadurch für die Intergration aller Arten von Objekten geeignet ist. Mittlerweile liegt die Version 3.0 des Standards vor. Das Buch behandelt alle wichtigen Themen rund um Corba, seine Grundlagen und das Zusammenspiel mit Java und dem Web. Das Buch kombiniert fundierte, detaillierte technische Informationen mit einem ordentlichen Schuß Humor. Mit cleveren Cartoons, kontroversen Meinungen sowie geistreichen Zitaten schaffen es die Autoren, ihre Leser zu informieren und gleichzeitig zu unterhalten.
