Negative Positive
Title: Not enough detail
Review: I am thoroughly dissappointed with this book. I purchased it because I am in the middle of a project that requires the use of CORBA. I am now purchasing another book, since this one did not cover the topic in enough depth to make me comfortable with the technology.I would consider the book an overview of framework development. It attempts to cover enough material to allow C programmers to transition to C++ OOP. It wastes a lot of time rehashing the same points repeatedly, which gets real tiring after the 10th time you've read the same point. Since it tries to cover so much material, it fails to obtain the necessary depth in any of them. It teaches just enough to whet your appetite for a better book.Finally, the title is misleading. It is not an advanced book, since it only covers the basics of C++, OOP, UML and CORBA.
