Object-Oriented Frameworks Using C++ and Corba Gold Book Book

Explains object-oriented application frameworks, which are collections of related objects created to handle routine operations in an application program. Treats ORBs and CORBA as an integral part of an application, built right into the application framework. Explains the fundamentals of UML and Design Patterns and then uses those methodologies in the subsequent presentations. Explains CORBA from both a software designer's and a programmer's perspective. Includes a C++ business objects case study to demonstrate the use of the techniques developed in the book.

Takes a unique approach— building CORBA into an OOP framework from inception, and not as an afterthought. No other book we know of has done this. Uses high-level methodologies, including UML (Universal Modeling Language), Design Patterns, and OOP. Uses a programming language and implementation strategy (C++ and application frameworks) that professional programmers are familiar with. Presents ideas at a very advanced level that are still concrete enough to be useful in corporate IS development. Not a "blue sky" book.
