    The best book about CORBA ever written. Worth reading even for Java programmers.
  • Robert Orfali, Dan Harkey, Jeri Edwards. The Essential Distributed Objects Survival Guide. John Wiley & Sons, 1996.
    Used to be the "Bible of Distributed Objects". Good comparism of RMI, CORBA, and DCOM. Unfortunately most details are out-dated.
  • Robert Orfali, Dan Harkey. Client/Server Programming with Java and CORBA. 2nd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1998.
    Out-dated, more of a Client/Server book than a CORBA book.

    4. ORB Interface
