Product Description
Product Description
This astute reference demystifies the underlying complexities of the Component Object Model (COM) -- explaining how to use the significant COM-based capabilities in Visual Basic 6.0 to create multitier solutions that scale for thousands of users. The best-selling first edition of this book has been fully updated to cover COM+ 1.0, the distributed application framework built into Windows 2000. Developers learn how to share resources such as threads, memory, and poolable objects in a COM+ application; exploit transactional programming techniques for high throughput and low response time; port Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) applications to COM+ and Windows 2000; and build robust, secure Web-based solutions.

Format:Paperback
As part of my job, I often have to interview prospective VB developers. Time and again, I am amazed at candidates who call themselves experts in COM and do not know the simplest aspects of the technology. Sadly, most books that convey the knowledge in this text are written for C++ developers - and VB itself hides a lot of the detail from its users. This book is a superbly written and fascinating journey under the covers of COM and COM+ - just enough for VB developers to gain the level of knowledge needed to make informed architectural decisions without bamboozling them with pointless forays into C++. You'll never wonder what project compatibility *really* means again... Buy it! If I could, I'd make it compulsory reading!

Starting with a guide to COM and working his way through to the intracacies of messaging and distributed security, Ted Pattison covers a complex and extensive subject with great clarity.
Some concepts were covered in greater depth than might be necessary just to get the job done, but such forays into the under-the-cover operations of the Win2K environment are concise and informative and should not put anyone off from reading this excellent book.
I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone with a sound knowledge of VB6 who is interested in creating middle tier components

Should be titled COM/MTS/MSMQ theory and concepts for non C++ programmers. CD contains working examples although you will need NT4 option pack in order to run most of them. COM+ is COM plus MTS so this book shouldn't be that different from the first.
