Passed the i-Net+ exam
|
|
|
| Just passed the exam today with an 81. It wasn't as tough as the A+ Certification although I had a few questions I had no idea on. What is CORBA? It was an answer for two of my questions. Only one HTML quesion. I had posted other commments about this test on this forum and now I can answer them. My test was all single answer multiple choice. No CIDR questions or bandwidth questions. Mainly server-side and client-side scripting languages. | |
|
| Congratulations. CORBA is a system which provides interoperability between objects in an internetwork in a way transparent to the programmer. Its design is based on OMG Object Model. | |

| For anyone interested I used the Sybex i-Net+ Study Guide the big thick book, i-Net+ Certification study system by IDG Books, and the i-Net+ Certification for dummies. The IDG Book was great reading the CD also contains software so you can set up various servers and get a little hands on experience with them. I enjoyed this book out of all three. The Sybex book I used for deeper knowledge of my weak areas considering most people on the forum passed with high scores using this book. Dummies was used to help interpret anything that I got lost on. All the free online practice exams were utilized also. | |

| Awesome work  | |

| Hey webd:
Here is a web-site for you that will help you when you don't understand the terms or abbreviation of terms, www.whatis.com I have their explanantion below!
CORBA is a programming term for "Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is an architecture and specification for creating, distributing, and managing distributed program objects in a network. It allows programs at different locations and developed by different vendors to communicate in a network through an "interface broker." CORBA was developed by a consortium of vendors through the Object Management Group (OMG), which currently includes over 500 member companies. Both International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and X/Open have sanctioned CORBA as the standard architecture for distributed objects (which are also known as components). CORBA 3 is the latest level.
The essential concept in CORBA is the Object Request Broker (ORB). ORB support in a network of clients and servers on different computers means that a client program (which may itself be an object) can request services from a server program or object without having to understand where the server is in a distributed network or what the interface to the server program looks like. To make requests or return replies between the ORBs, programs use the General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP) and, for the Internet, its Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). IIOP maps GIOP requests and replies to the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer in each computer.
A notable hold-out from CORBA is Microsoft, which has its own distributed object architecture, the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM). However, CORBA and Microsoft have agreed on a gateway approach so that a client object developed with the Component Object Model will be able to communicate with a CORBA server (and vice versa).
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), a distributed programming architecture that preceded the trend toward object-oriented programming and CORBA, is currently used by a number of large companies. DCE will perhaps continue to exist along with CORBA and there will be "bridges" between the two."
I hope this is to your liking,
