Need to learn lots about CORBA, Bonobo very fast

["Jason Stokes" <jstok bluedog apana org au>]

>From a standing start of pure ignorance I'd like to learn a lot about 
CORBA and Bonobo very fast.  Does anyone have any advice on good CORBA 
books, references etc?  I've already checked out most of the books in the 
local university library, and found the books they have on CORBA 
alternately superficial and/or dense to the point of impenetrable.
