OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL)

The OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL) permits interfaces to objects to be defined independent of an object's implementation. After defining an interface in IDL, the interface definition is used as input to an IDL compiler that produces output to be compiled and linked with an object implementation and its clients. Also see CORBA. (There are other uses of the IDL initialisms. For example, there is also a Java IDL.)

Also see CORBA and Object Request Broker (ORB).

	The CORBA Reference Guide: Understanding the Common Object Request Broker Architecture by Alan Pope Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews. Customer Review: This is a good book for those who understand client/server or OO programming, but who haven't had exposure to CORBA. The book doesn't give enough depth to serve as a developer's reference guide. But, if you want a solid understanding of all aspects of CORBA without having to read through a 3-inch thick book, this is the book to pick.

	CORBA: A Guide to Common Object Request Broker Architecture (McGraw-Hill Object Technology) by Ron Ben-Natan Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews. Customer Review: I found this book an excellent introduction to CORBA, and always recommend it to technical developers wanting to learn about CORBA. It doesn't compare CORBA to rival technologies nor talk about what CORBA will be able to do sometime in the future. Furthermore, it does not contain any cartoons of aliens - a great relief to many of us!
