Lesson 1
CORBA fundamentals
  In this module you'll explore the basic building blocks of CORBA and how they fit together.
CORBA offers many capabilities, but most of them build on lower levels where possible. The things we are about to explore represent those fundamental layers.
In this module, you'll be introduced to:
  1. The technologies that led to CORBA
  2. CORBA clients & servers
  3. CORBA requests & replies
  4. The Object Management Architecture (OMA)

Distributed Applications
CORBA products provide a framework for the development and execution of distributed applications.
Distributed applications introduce a whole new set of difficult issues. Sometimes there is no alternative since some applications are distributed across multiple computers because of one or more of the following reasons:
  1. The data used by the application are distributed
  2. The computation is distributed
  3. The users of the application are distributed
