5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive reference for ATL, 24 Jan 2000
By A Customer
I held off buying this book because of the reviews here, which I really regret because this is exactly the book I had been looking for. It covers all the useful areas of ATL development without long winded explanations of background information. It explains the topic better than the Beginners book by Grimes and covers a better range of information than his Professional book. The chapter on OLEDB consumers is perfectly pitched and covers the topic better than any other book I have seen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confused mismash unusable as reference or narrative guide, 21 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book makes an attempt to be both a reference guide to ATL programming and a tutorial as well, and fails miserably at both. It constantly and throughout the book refers to concepts not explained until leter chapters. The tutorial example is hopelessly complicated by issues unrelated to the topic at hand, and the overall organization will leave you spending more time hunting for the section a particular topic is covered in than would have taken to sit down and read through full chapters in a good narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars An very handy, consise ATL COM Reference book, 11 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This is a really handy ATL COM reference book explaining both programming techniques and syntax. At just over 360 pages it is a book to carry around and keep about you all the time while you write your code. It explains the features of ATL 3.0 and how these can be applied to develop your lightweight COM components using Visual C++. However, this is no book for a novice ATL programmer, since it assumes a fair knowledge of Visual C++ and COM. Probably, since the author's aim was to write a handy Programmer's Reference, topics on COM security, IDL, MIDL and compiler COM support have been left out. However this is a very well written, small, handy, consise book on ATL COM programming which you will always want keep around while are developing your ATL COM components.
