In this chapter, we develop a simple example application that illustrates the basics of writing CORBA-based applications using Functional Developer.
The aim of this chapter is to show the sort of coding involved in using CORBA with Functional Developer, and get a client/server application up and running quickly. It is not concerned so much with explaining how things work. Subsequent chapters go into more detail, using a deeper example, and explaining the approach we have taken to implementing the CORBA architecture for Dylan.
