Begin to explore CORBA by learning more about some of the associated acronyms.
Most technologies come with their own set of acronyms and CORBA is no exception. Chances are, if you have been looking into CORBA, you have already run into some of the acronyms that we are about to see.

The most important thing to focus on at this point is getting familiar with the acronyms and getting some idea of what they do. As we learn more about CORBA, we will explore these topics in greater depth.

Now that we have a good idea of the basic reason for CORBA's existence (a tool for building distributed software systems) and have been introduced to some of CORBA's acronyms, we will begin to learn more about the details of what makes CORBA tick. The following lessons will take us from our current conceptual understanding of distributed clients and servers and build on our understanding to explore CORBA in detail.
