Professional Visual C++ 6 MTS Programming

I found this book very usefull. Most of all it covers several tricky MTS questions, like hidden interfaces that you wont find in the MSDN. It looks like author spend a lot of time going deeper and deeper incide COM+ architecture, and now shares his knowledge and experience.

I've worked with MTS for a while now, and I know how it works pretty well. I love technical details, and this is precisly what this book gives you: low level descriptions of how MTS performs its magic using interception etc.This book doesn't tell you how to write your middle tier applications as such, but it gives you all the basic technical information and guidelines you need to be successful with MTS. Overall I'd highly recommended this book. If you've got other MTS books, I can assure you this book is still a must have. It is the "Essential MTS" book Don Box would have written if he had the time ( probably ;) ).The MTS 3.0 implementations under the Windows 2000 are still the same ( a few name changes), so the book isn't out of date, and you'll find the last chapter discusses W2K details anyway.Enjoy.

This book easily provides the most detailed review of how MTS works internally. In addition, it is one of the few books that looks at MTS from a C++ (rather than a VB) programmer's viewpoint. The last chapter on COM+ provides a great preview on how MTS will be integrated and extended within Windows 2000. This book is a must-have for everyone who has done some MTS work and now wants to understand how MTS really works.

I've just in the middle of reading of this book. It's really cool. This book explain MTS and COM+ differences, explaine why and how implemented in MTS + a lot of different techical suggestions. Try to use it with ATL Internals
