This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
This week we are giving away 4 copies of the software CORBA@Whiz - CORBA Tutorial and Test Engine for quickest learning. The best part... Pradeep Chopra will be on line to answer your questions. Everyone give him a warm JavaRanch welcome. Thanks to the folks atWhizLabs for the software.
Hi, Pradeep Welcome to JavaRanch !!! Does this test engine cover CORBA Java? Is there any real Corba certification test? Thanks.

Thanks, Pradeep. So CORBA@Whiz should be a good tutorial for quickest learning Corba. I find learning by questions is the quickest approach. My another question: Do you think it is real for creating a CORBA Applet? I experienced CORBA Applet nightmare once. Deployment consideration, signed applet, browser capability, so much thing to bother you. [ January 29, 2002: Message edited by: Doug Wang ]

Dear Doug, Frankly telling you, CORBA@Whiz doesn't cover advanced topics like ORBlets etc. I will try to find out some crispy and concise material on this topic. Regards Pradeep

Dear Pradeep, You are kind. OMG is likely going in a new direction to distributed computing - Model Driven Architecture(MDA). How do you compare MDA with CORBA? Thanks.

Dear Doug, Even though i have not fully engaged into this new topic, but i find it interesting. As also said my OMG, MDA is not the new direction. But using UML architecture for PIM with support for latest tech's like "web services" it offers a sound value proposition. But still there is time before its fully standardised. I hope you have gone through the FAQ page at OMG: http://www.omg.com/mda/faq_mda.htm#what is mda Hope this helps a bit Regards and best wishes Pradeep
