Title: Great Book. A classic introduction to COM
Review: Inside COM is a clear, concise introduction to COM programming through C++. The author starts with a simple non-COM example, and evolves it into a full-fledge COM component, explaining along the way how COM solves various software problems.This is the best introduction to COM programming I've read. It's better written and more focused than COM/DCOM Primer Plus by Corry, Mayfield, and Cadman, and it's a smoother introduction to COM than Beginning ATL COM Programming by Grimes, et al.I was able to start doing some simple COM development shortly after reading the book. If your not interested in C++ COM development, or already have experience with COM development, this text will probably not offer you much. However, this book is perfect for programmers new to COM (and even new to C++).
