Re: [gnome-love] from omniorb to orbit

[Matthew Walton <mxw00u Cs Nott AC UK>]

Is there by any chance a wonderful document somewhere that tells me 
exactly what CORBA, ORBit, Bonobo and all these fantastically 
exciting-sounding things actually are and what they can do for me as an 
aspiring Gnome developer? I gather that Bonobo is some kind of component 
framework, and that KDE has a thing called DCOP that's a bit similar in 
intention at least, but I'm not quite exactly what that means. Is it 
like (and apologies for mentioning this) some kind of hyper-pumped-up 
OLE? Why's it so good? What's wrong with building things the 
'traditional' way?

Unfortunately my University don't do a Gnome programming module :-( They 
seem more interested in Java, which I don't like very much. Oh well. Now 
I have Gnome Love... :-)
