Well, I'm up to page 43 in Chris Pine's book and having a lot of fun, but I still can't figure out two basic things.  One is what I've already asked you about.  I'm just going to paste what his book says so you can see what I'm having trouble with:

The amount of increased understanding is directly proportional to the
amount of suffering involved ;-) 

My personal experience of inter-process-communications is that of:

1) talking between applications on a 300baud phone line...
2) Using SystemV IPC
3) chatting between unix sockets
4) reading a bit about CoRBA and being disgusted about that
   committee-smacking stuff (I still have a book somewhere: anybody
   wants to buy it?)
5) seeing the light with DRb.

Basically, with 1-3 you just send and receive bytes: you must
create and enforce your own more-or-less high-level protocols. 

4 and 5 (as well as a myriad of other more or less successful
solutions that I was spared), on the other hand, are object-oriented
inter-process communications.

CoRBA pretended to be language-independent, and an awkward crock was
the result. DRb, on the other hand, is Ruby-only (and made in Japan
;-), so it is clean and straightforward.

I do not have tutorials to suggest, since I generally learn by
doing. But the nutshell is simple: from a process running here on my
PC I can invoke the methods of an object instantiated by a process
running in a toaster plugged to the internet in Waikaki, New Zealand,
in a transparent way. It is *almost* as if the two processes were the
same. The scope of the *almost* will only become clear to you with
experience.
