Excellent book for starting at component programming

If you are a VB programmer but not a COM programmer I think this is an excellent book to start COM study. You can have a good knowledge of a complex technology only with the first 7 chapters.

The Best for Newbies

If you are new to all the new technologies out there from Microsoft. This is the best book to explain it all. I do agree with the previous reviewer, this is not an advanced book and I would recommend Ted's book if you are advanced or have mastered the basics. IF you have not mastered the basic then you will be lost in Ted's book. So, in my opinion this book is the best on the market for entry to intermediate level developers starting with COM.

The best for MTS beginners

If you consider hiring someone to explain to you what COM, MTS, N-tier app or something alike, consider buying this book first. It does not only dedicate the first few chapters to show the big picture, the theory of n-tier development and components, it also provides good examples (w/ important tips and clear explanations) to complete your knowledge with experience/practice.The only drawback I've seen so far is that the author missed highlighting the important code section like: GetObjectContext() in the every first example of how to create the first MTS component. Well, the good thing is that you won't want to miss any parts of this book and like to read every written line anyway. If you have intention to learn MTS, this book is definitely the start, and it won't let you down.There are many other MTS books out there too, but I think without this one, others are either too advanced or do not cover the foundation good enough. Start with this first!Good luck.

Good Teacher! Great Book!

I have a few VB COM and DCOM books. This one stands out for its clear explanation and meaningful illustration with sample applications. I also like the organization of the materials and the cool, guiding voice of the author(s). You get the feeling that he knows his stuff really well and is not out to dazzle you but to teach you.You don't get lost easily. You just want to read on and find out more.It is worth your time and money so go get it!

Excellent Book for VB programmers wanting to learn COM

I've been programming in VB for 4 years and wanted to learn COM. This book helped me understand COM and what it's all about. What I liked most about this book is its coverage of all the Microsoft buzzwords that are sometimes hard to get examples for. The author writes regularly for VBPJ and I like his articles, so I bought this book on that faith. I would strongly recommend it if you are new or semi new to VB like myself. I also bought the book that the previous reviewer recommends, except that it was too deep and detailed for me, maybe after I am comfortable with COM it will all make sense.
