Object Innovations - The COM and COM+ Programming Primer (book by Alan Gordon)

COM+ is the second generation of COM. It includes new features that make COM easier to use and simplifies the development of distributed, enterprise-class applications. COM+ builds on the distributed infrastructure provided by DCOM and MTS, and it represents the evolution of COM from a desktop, application integration technology to a distributed, application development infrastructure.

In The COM and COM+ Programming Primer, you'll follow an experienced instructor and programmer/developer through COM+ and COM code from the "inside out," so you understand its deep structure. You'll build simple objects from scratch to gain a thorough familiarity with the underlying concepts. Your existing skills in Visual Basic and Visual C++ will help you master COM and COM+ so you'll be creating usable applications in record time.

With Alan Gordon's straightforward explanations and practical use of standard tools, you'll get the in-depth knowledge you need to create applications that leverage COM+ and all the technologies in the Windows DNA 2000.
