A Good Technical Managers Overview

What it is: A good introduction to what CORBA is and what it offers. The sections on the services and the IDL should provide a nice summary for the technical manager. The descriptions and comparisons of other distributed technologies are informative, and the systems engineering section is littered with information a manager needs to consider for a distributed development effort, with or without CORBA. What it is not: The book does not provide much for the developer. It does not contain any nuts and bolts insight for the new developer, but does state that their is approx 6 mo. rampup required. Overall: I thought that this is a book which should be read by any new manager and developer considering CORBA. Likely to be a reference for a manager and less to a developer, but definitely worth reading. A good companion book to this (opinion) would be Java Programming with CORBA, Vogel - Duddy (ISBN 0-471-17986-8) Small quip : Smalltalk community would appreciate "Smalltalk" instead of "SmallTalk".
