Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
OLE has become a powerful, key component of the Windows operating system-you almost can't talk about programming for Windows today without talking about OLE. For developers and managers who have been reluctant to dive into a mountain of OLE information, UNDERSTANDING OLE WITH ACTIVEX provides a firm and practical conceptual footing in OLE without extraneous details or implementation specifics. In UNDERSTANDING OLE, David Chappell, the author of professional courses and articles on Microsoft OLE and the Common Object Model (COM), introduces readers to OLE's importance and strategic significance. He delves into how component software led to OLE and then to COM, and how ActiveX technology is using OLE and COM to extend the capabilities of distributed applications and sites on the World Wide Web. He also covers topics such as structured storage, monikers, Uniform Data Transfer, and OLE Automation. Easy to browse, with concise margin notes and illustrations, this book is an efficient way to get up to speed on a fundamental technology.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent book   October 1, 1999
13 out of 13 found this review helpful

One thing is clear: no matter what they said, the authors of other com/activex related books didn't want you to understand these topics. Read this book thoroughly first before you take a deep breathe and go through the wrong statements and rubbish codes from other books. Besides, when you finish this book, you will find it is worth at least 10 times more than its price.

This is an excellent book that no programmer should ever go without. Read at least 3 times, and then buy Dale Rogerson and Don Box. EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT introduction to Microsoft's technologies that implement their vision of a document centric system. Microsoft does nothing anymore without using COM/ActiveX/OLE. You must learn this technology if you trully want to become a real hardcore programmer. So what are you waiting for.


5 out of 5 stars This book gave me a great intro to COM   March 20, 2000

I bought this book knowing absolutely nothing about COM/DCOM. This book does a good job of orientating you to the world of COM. In the process it does a pretty good job of explaining object-oriented programming. The only remotely bad thing I can say about this book is that it shows some favortism towards C++ (too many C++ references and not enough Java/J++ and/or Visual Basic). otherwise this is a great book for gaining understanding about COM/DCOM.


5 out of 5 stars Useful "top down" view of COM / OLE technology   January 27, 1997
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

I found this a useful book. I've been working with OLE for about a year now and what this book does is tie together the disparate pieces of the technology from the top down, explaining the technology conceptually and also letting the reader in on some of the quirkier aspects of COM. For instance, as a C++ developer, I often wondered about the why behind IDispatch. IDispatch becomes much more reasonable when you see it, as Chappell points out, from the viewpoint of a VB programmer. The one criticism of the book I have is that I don't think it lives up to the claim subtitled on its cover - "A guide for developers and managers." While this is a good book for developers (including project leads), it's still too technically detailed for most managers. Still all in all . . . a good read. Very recommended.


5 out of 5 stars A great high level view of COM/DCOM   June 14, 2000
James E. White (Oak Park, IL)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

When I purchased this book, I had no clue what COM/DCOM was, besides maybe what the initials meant. This book did a nice job of easing one's understanding into COM. I think this a great book whether you are a project manager just trying to get a clue, an experienced programmer trying something different, or a newbie. This book is a solid high-level beginning for learning COM. If you want to have a better understanding of COM, buy this book. If you want to learn how to code COM components look for a good VB, C++, or Java book.
