CORBA Fundamentals

( WT-1200-180 )


     Course DescriptionBack To Top

Course Offered in Partnership With DigitalThink

This course teaches object-oriented programmers, system architects, and designers how a distributed system is implemented employing the CORBA architecture. Students engage in a course-wide project with hands-on exercises wherein they gradually build the architecture and spec out the requirements for a system that makes use of CORBA. By the end of the course, students will be able to define the CORBA architecture, as well as determine if a CORBA solution is appropriate.

This course requires a Java-enabled browser (Netscape 3.02 or later, IE 3.02 or later). It also requires a computer running Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX.

eMentoring Services are included with this course.
