From: Kurt R. on 20 Dec 2007 15:29 I'm looking for a good book (or books) that describe the evolution of distributed objects / object automation, including OLE, Active X, COM/ DCOM, CORBA(?) and whatever else relevant. I'm a professional programmer but looking not for a "how to" manual but rather a "why this way" story. Any recommendations? TIA
From: alAzif on 20 Dec 2007 20:02 Component Software, by Clemens Szyperski. This is one of the most comprehensive books related to components, component frameworks and object orientation. A definite must.

It's largely a personal preference. It fits some people's heads but not others. Some claim it inherantly models human thought or the "real world" better, but they have no evidence of this on a universal scale. Nobody even knows how to measure real-world-fitness. -T- oop.ismad.com

Some books - One book that has a fair bit on much of them is : Distributed Object Survival Guide (Wiley - 1995) - CORBA-biased : Fundamentals of Distributed Object Systems: The CORBA Perspective Both of these used are dirt-cheap on Amazon etc, so if you are a US/UK denizen, you can get a used copy. 2. What you seek When you ask "why this way" , I assume you mean technically (as opposed to commercially/politically) . The MS community might be able to point you to books that contain more about the latter (if you seek that) . CORBA has an interesting evolution and lineage. Which roughly could be written : 1. RPC (people like Birrell etc) . 2. Prog langs/envs such as Ada, Argus, CONIC etc. 3. Emerald 4. ANSA platform (massive influence on the OMG and ISO ODP) . 5. OMG (CORBA etc) Regards, Steven Perryman |
