Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Written for readers with knowledge of C++, Inside ATL surveys the strengths of today's Active Template Library (ATL), used for creating "lightweight", high-performance COM components on Windows. This book provides an excellent guide to ATL programming, while introducing all its features, both for client and server- side development.

One of the best features of Inside ATL is its thorough coverage of using (and understanding) the wizard-generated code in Visual C++. The authors describe each of the choices developers face when running these wizards, as well as examining and modifying the generated boilerplate code. (You'll find good detail on the various threading options available with ATL components.) The book also provides an excellent discussion of "smart pointers" and C++ templates to explain how ATL works by analogy. Another notable section is the full treatment of using ATL to build efficient client-side ActiveX components. (This last chapter alone will justify the cost of the book for many readers.)

Instead of long coding examples, Inside ATL is filled with shorter excerpts used to illustrate essential COM topics effectively. A complete example shows how to use ATL for efficient client-side ActiveX components, including using property pages and events. The book also covers ATL support classes available for both client-side and server-side programming, and illustrates the use of ATL in writing Windows applications. A final section on Windows 2000 and COM+ looks at the future of ATL in the enterprise.

With the solid knowledge of two experts from the field of component development, Inside ATL does a fine job of exposing the most important inner workings of ATL. Its mix of savvy detail and thorough introduction to virtually every capability of ATL will allow this book to fill a critical niche for every C++ developer. -- Richard Dragan, Amazon.com

Topics covered: COM basics, smart pointers, ATL wizards, threading apartment models, COM servers and client-side components, aggregation, wizards, building ActiveX controls, ATL window classes and collections, COM+.

3.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to understand., 5 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Weak writing at times and only the occasional good piece of information. Poor style. O.K. content.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sound book, 28 Sep 1999
By A Customer
A nice mix of sensible examples, practical advice and clear explanations of what goes on 'under the hood'.

Recommended.

[If you're new to COM then read Dave Chappell's book first.]

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but missing tutorials, 13 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Overall a good book. However it was tough going. I am relatively new to COM and ATL, but am using CORBA, so expected to be able to use this well. I felt that more tutorials and examples would have provided a better insight into ATL, especially on Class factories and threading.
