Finally! This book cuts through to the COM/COM+ core where others have only come tantalizingly close. I have an extensive computer science library, and I thought I had all the definitive books on Visual Basic 5/6 and object oriented programming in VB. Yet this exceedingly handy volume is already my favorite because I am a person who just HAS to know "how it works". While other books largely defer to Visual Basic's sheltering from system internals, this one gives the straight up story on the hows and whys of interface based programming. Don't get me wrong, quality authors like Daniel Appleman and Deborah Kurata and the content they have provided are excellent sources of information for Visual Basic object oriented programming, but COM+ Programming by Jose Mojica picks up where these leave off. For those who don't really want or need to know these sorts of things this book might be too much, but as for me, I am on the same page as the author -- I have to know the how and why of it all. I have always been a fan of O'Reilly books because of their treatment of subjects that are off the beaten track and this one does not disappoint. Well done. |
