Customer Reviews

The bible

99,9% of Plain OLE is covered. No MFC/OWL/ or anyother compiler-dependent technique. It is the must for the serious programmer. Warning: not for beginners, make sure you know C++ and the Win32 API well before trying the book.

The best you can find, for the details of COM and OLE

This book is undoubtedly the best one you will find for the details of COM and OLE. Comment for some of the other reviews: I think it is too bad that because one's lack of ability to read English at a higher-level that you lambaste the author - shame on you, get a dictionary! Brockschmidt needs to provide an update on this text, until then you will have to make do with what we have at this time -- if indeed you can find a copy. As for me, my own will stay in my library for reference!

Best OLE book there is!!!

I didn't understand OLE at all until I read this book.(period) It is true that this book is difficult to understand. But there is a reason. OLE is very complicated. Anyone try to teach you by simplifying the OLE will mislead you!!! Chapter1 and Chapter2 are the best introduction of OLE. You don't need to read anything else! Chapter 5-6 are the best chapters about component and their marshaling. This book tells you everything about OLE. It decribe the internal meachanism in detail. Also this book has the best diagrams about OLE.Buy it and read it. You will love it as I do.

Very Good book.

I feel this is a must book for any one dealing with OLE. It delas with both COM and OLE. For COM alone, there are other books "Inside COM" and "Essential COM".

Very useful

This foundational bible is a good desk reference. Chapter one summarizes the remaining chapters, and is therefore a good starting point for the uninitiated. Once a topic has been perused in chapter one, it can be studied in the specialty chapter.
