Title: Very good high-level overview of the subject.
Product review: I borrowed this book from a co-worker and was not disappointed. I have to build distributed apps almost completely "from stratch" in the environment where most developers do not have enough practical knowledge and experience, and so I was glad to find the book that brings some light to this complex issue. There is plenty of good COM books out there. But definite advantage of this one for me is that it is VB-oriented. CD also contains fully searchable electronic version of the book, which I installed and use as a reference. You will certainly need to read more books to learn specifics about such topics as MTS, MSMQ, transaction processing. Do not expect this book to teach you how to program. It is an OVERVIEW. But a very good one.
