<tr><td class="diff-deleted-lines" style="color:#999;background-color:#fdd;text-decoration:line-through;"> <br> <br> <br>Notes <br> <br>Ice is a middleware product for distributed computing from ZeroC. What does <br>this mean? Well, another way to put it is that it is framework for making <br>remote procedure calls between applications. Like most middleware products, <br>Ice uses an interface definition language, in this case called Slice, for <br>defining the interfaces and data types that can be used to communicate <br>between applications. In order for these definitions to be of use to the <br>programmer they must be converter to native implementation constructs so <br>that they can used by your applications. The rules governing the <br>translation of Slice to a particular set of programming language classes <br>and procedures is called a "language binding". <br> <br>Ice provides language bindings for many popular object oriented programming <br>languages, e.g: <br> C++ <br> Java <br> C# <br> Python <br> Ruby <br> <br>In addition to providing an RPC framework, Ice provides services and <br>libraries for: <br> - asynchronous "event" networks <br> - persistence <br> - managing and locating collections of services <br> - secure communications <br> - firewall traversal proxy <br> <br>While Ice is designed form performance and scalability, it strives to be <br>easier to use than other middleware products. <br> <br>Ice is also quite portable with support for Windows, Linux, MacOS X and <br>Solaris. Ice also supports building applications for iOS (iPod Touch, <br>iPhone), Android devices, Windows mobile and, a recent addition, Adobe <br>Flash and AIR. <br></td></tr>
