Developing CORBA Applications

Description

This course teaches the concepts of distributed computing and how to develop components that are; autonomous, self-managing and collaborative, using CORBA. Not only will it focus on the construction of CORBA applications but also how implementation is achieved. CORBA Services will also be investigated along with dynamic invocation and multi-threading in CORBA.

Delegates are then led through the basics of building a CORBA application, from writing the Interface Definition Language (IDL) code through to compiling and running the client and server. CORBA services are then discussed along with their current market state-of-play. Finally, advanced topics such as dynamic invocation, security, multi-threading and language-specific issues are covered.

This course is offered in Ada95, C++, C# or Java.
