Title: Wordy, unclear, good concepts, weak details
Review: Gave me a good basic understanding of what COM is, but did not help me AT ALL in understanding how to use or create COM objects.1) I didn't like the wordy, conversational style. I would prefer more step-by-step procedure lists and section summaries.2) The distinction between "using a COM object" and "creating a COM object" was unclear. Rogerson kept shifting the focus between these two activities, sometimes in the same sentence.3) His sample code was incomplete, forcing you to go to the disk. I'd prefer complete in-context code samples.I think the book could have delivered more useful information in half the size. If you like verbose reference materials, this is probably a great book. For me it was not helpful.
