This course will provide students with a hands-on working knowledge of both CORBA and the ORBexpress® product. The concepts of distributed object-oriented programming will be presented. The use of basic ORBexpress tools and illustrated examples (including the generated code) will be shown. This course is approximately half lecture and half programming exercises.

Ada software developers and project team members who need a working, practical understanding of CORBA and ORBexpress.

This course will enable students to:

• • Understand the goals and rationale behind CORBA.
  • Use ORBexpress and CORBA in their software development efforts.
  • Familiarize themselves with both the basics and the advanced uses of ORBexpress.
  • Experience hands-on, practical examples of using ORBexpress for Ada.

No knowledge of CORBA, Distributed Object Computing or ORBexpress is needed nor assumed.

Familiarity with Ada and at least one Ada compiler is necessary.

Three (3) days.

Each student will be provided with a PC or Workstation computer with both ORBexpress and the corresponding Ada compiler installed. All computers will be connected on a LAN to enable client/server lab exercises.
