Synopsis

MICO is a complete implementation of CORBA, the dominant standard for distributed application development. This book shows you how to build and manage your own professional, industrial-strength CORBA applications using MICO, and includes a CD with compiled binaries for various platforms along with the complete source code. One of the most successful examples of open source development, MICO is the collaborative result of hundreds of independent programmers working together to modify and improve the initial source code. Here is a practical, affordable introduction to building distributed applications.

Publisher and industry reviews

Jacket review

The CORBA standard provides a quick development path to three-tier architecture. MICO is among the best ORBs for complying to the CORBA standard, thereby reducing the reliance on proprietary initiatives. This factor coupled with the extremely low cost (free) made MICO the standout choice when selecting an ORB for our three-tier architecture initiatives. —Michael J. Clark, Software Development Manager, AT&T Broadband & Internet Services Puder and Römer have achieved a landmark proof of the value of open-specification, open-source systems. The existence of commercial products based on the MICO CORBA implementation prove their work; this book proves their knowledge. You will find both of immense value in the tough job of building scalable, distributed, heterogeneous systems. —From the Foreword by Richard Mark Soley, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO, Object Management Group, Inc. With MICO, Open Source Software shows that it does not need to shamefully hide when it comes to enterprise computing. MICO is a robust and complete CORBA implementation that is better than many of its commercial competitors. —Matthias Kalle Dalheimer, President & CEO, Klaralvdalens Datakonsult AB, Member of the KDE core team
