# 1.4 About this document

This document is intended to be an introduction to using Fnorb and Python to build CORBA systems. It is not a CORBA tutorial. There are many excellent CORBA texts available, and the reader is expected to be familiar with at least the basic concepts including OMG's interface definition language (IDL). Similarly, this document will not teach you Python! The best way to learn this great language is to read the documentation provided in the standard distribution available at `http://www.python.org/`.
