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

Deals with concepts of OOP and introduces the OO framework and then object model for CORBA. It is deals more with the concepts behind the code rather than give you code samples to cut and paste. Many of the programming concepts are intuitive if you know where you are and where you want to go. This book gives you an idea about the starting point and the final destination in OOP and couple of known paths to get there.

This book does a remarkable job of covering the CORBA and C++ technique from an OO perspective. The examples chosen are well thought of and moderately complex, giving a taste of good C++ practice as well. It assumes familiarity with C++, thus saving time and space on teaching from scratch.

Just browse through some portion of the book, it's very well written, various aspects of design pattern, framework and corba implementation were well covered. Lacked of depth/detail was its shortingcoming, but was well compensated by its architecture overview, after all I wasn't expect a programmer's reference

An excellent book on Frameworks and C++. Although some reviewers have written quite scathing reviews, I find the topics the book coveres are really good and useful. The sidebars are quite good and informative. However, this book is not for those people who are used to read "blue-sky" Java books. I recommended this book for strong C++ people.

It is a book that teaches concepts of OO in a plain English! However, this is not an ordinary OO book. This is the first book that I have ever seen that explains concepts of object-oriented frameworks using many simple and small C++ examples. What I like about the book that it also covers CORBA programming (in C++) in the context of design patterns and frameworks. This is done very convincingly. I found the Notes, and Sidebars in the chapters very useful. However, I recommend this book only for professional C++ programmers because the book presents ideas at advanced level. A must for those C++ programmers who understands polymorphism, reuse and inheritance very well, and want to know more about as to how to use these ideas in implementing design patterns and OO frameworks. Another good thing about this book is that unlike other OO books, this book presents a good deal of examples to back the theories. Not a verbose book; just uses many C++ examples to get to the point.
