Title: Overall is fine but ...
Review: This book is great for VB COM/COM+ developer but not VC++ developer. The bright side of this book is that is explains from COM/DCOM to COM+ in both VB and VC++. It provides examples for some hard chewing stuff and it explains the COM+ services such as CRM, Roles Based Security, Queue Component and etc...But the dark side is that those tips provided in this book is not accurate, which decrease a star from perfect. For example, the author recommended to use CreateInstance for object creation. This is fine with MTS but not COM+. In COM+, there are no separate runtime as in COM/MTS environment. Instead of the CreateInstance (which is MTS way of implementation) we should use the New operator to create object (which is the COM+ way of implementation).But overall, this is a great book to grab the COM+ in action with VB and VC++.TQ:-)
