You can do as much, ok more, with Ada and COM then J++! Take the course,
but don't retire your Ada hat. (http://www.botton.com/ada/com - Its
coming....)

COM if looked at as a frame work (which is what it is) and a method of
programming is not restricted to any technology, platform, etc. There is
no reason not to implement code on a UNIX platform as COM style objects.

I can not say I am an MS fan, but COM was done right and it has a long
bright future on MS and NON MS platforms.
