C++ middleware assignment
<p>I have a rather large assignment for my Programming II class. We are to take a system that we currently use or have access to and develop a middleware program that runs and does something new for you or improves upon middlware that is already there. Originally I was going with writing a middleware program that uses my home network and shares all music files from my computer, another computer, and puts in on an MP3 player or can take documents from one computer and send it to the other or send to wireless printer. I now realize this is much to much of an undertaking for a beginner like me to take on. So...I started web searching to see if I could find any ideas there are dumbed down and more simplistic for my level of education and experience (none), so far I am not having much luck. My question is this:</p>

<p>Where can I find good solid information and examples to study and figure out how I am going to implement middleware into a small home network (that is the only system that I have access to)? I have looked at ACE and CORBA and they are too complex for the needs that I am looking at. Any help on this is great, thanks in advance.</p>
