Professional Dcom Programming

Guide to creating practical applications with Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model. (DCOM) For Win32 programmers taking up the challenge of building distributed applications using the new component object model.

Professional DCOM Programming is a dense, comprehensive tome that covers everything an experienced C++ programmer could want to know about DCOM, Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model. Author Richard Grimes covers DCOM's origins, differences from COM, and techniques for writing both DCOM clients and servers. What the book sometimes lacks in readability it makes up in thoroughness: nothing is left out, from security to multithreading, and the level of detail reached within each section is remarkable.
