Title: Inside ATL but not the outside
Review: I tried to read through this book in relation to the creation of ActiveX controls I however found information missing and holes in what was there. I ended with alot more questions that answers. A number of subjects ended with the reader having to come to there own conclusion without the book drawing the conlusion for you. This spends most of its time explains in detail how COM does this etc and why, but never how to use ATL on the outside. I found trying to use this book to write a simple project painfull and confusing. Internals it might have but as a explation of how to use ATL forget it. Its internals information is not even that good.
Is the review positive or negative?
