5.0 out of 5 stars I am impressed!, 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Finally a book that covers REAL COM. This book doesn't show a high level picture or just basic COM stuff. It explores what is really involved in building programs from components. It doesn't hide the fact that COM is complicated. It explains what we need to know to use it. Complex issues are presented with clarity. I am suprised that I did not hear about this book sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Ten book, 8 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is one of my ten most recommended I.T. books. It is very good for people who want to learn the heart of COM programming.

I recommend this book for all developers and architects both beginning and advanced.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's 2/3rds COM, and only about 1/3rd DCOM, 27 Feb 1999
By A Customer
The book is well written, and seems to be well organized, but less than a third of the actual pages of the book are dedicated to true DCOM.. the rest is spent wasting time on rehashing COM issues, and implementation in Java and VB.. Frankly, I don't care. I think a majority of the COM programmers out there are concerned with C or C++, and to waste that much of the book on the topic, is really inappropriate.. They should do their own COM book, and then do a DCOM book if the wish to do it that way..

The information presented about DCOM is quite good, hence the 3 stars, but since so much time is wasted, I would suggest a different book to get your intro to DCOM..
