Product Description

From Amazon

Aimed at more experienced VB or C++ developers, Developing ASP Components, 2nd edition, gives plenty of advanced advice for creating and using COM-based components, which are a must for serious scalability and performance on the Microsoft Web platform.

This book excels at showing the inner workings and issues in designing custom COM-based components in VB, ATL, and/or MFC, as well as tapping the built-in components that come standard with COM, including transactions, mail objects (with CDO), and database programming (with ADO). In particular, for the C++/ATL/MFC developer, practical sources of information (and sample code) are in short supply, and for this readership, the book fills a particularly worthwhile niche. Much of it uses VB in examples for designing effective, high-performance components.

Several early sections look at the details of COM-based components (including the notoriously difficult threading models, along with similar details). The author does a good job of explaining this challenging topic. The practical examples of using built-in COM objects and services on the Windows platform really make this book a winner. The sample code and hints for tapping such COM-based standards as transactions, Active Directory, message queuing, CDO, and ADO are very helpful. Better yet, the book covers the same ground for C++ programmers using ATL (and MFC) to create the most lightweight (and potentially the fastest) Web components available today.

Until the new .NET Framework arrives later in 2001, COM (and COM+) is still the best way to build and share components for use with ASP in Windows. Developing ASP Components shows you how to build components that are fully integrated into the Microsoft Web platform. Whether you build custom components or just want to use services in VB/C++ code that are available to your Web applications, this title will clue you into getting the most out of your components. It's a source of expert information that you won't likely find anywhere else. --Richard Dragan

Review

'For the developer wanting to create their own ASP components, this book provides an excellent starting point and technical reference resource. It's accurate, readable and well organized. Looking at the errata lists on the O'Reilly web site exposes the high level of accuracy and attention to detail that have gone into this book. Almost all of the corrections are in the further reading sections that accompany each chapter and most are changed URLs (which is more a reflection of the problems associated with the web than the quality of the book)... What more can be said, if you are serious about writing your own ASP components, take a look at this book.' - Dave Rutlidge Cvu, February 2001

1.0 out of 5 stars ASP Components, July 27 2001
By 
"mlbrown@one.net" (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Developing ASP Components (Paperback)
This book is a waste of money. The author continually switches between describing simple theories such as n-tier computing to an overly in-depth analysis Windows that no-one outside of Redmond should even care about. Too much text and not enough examples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginning Component book, Jun 29 2001
By 
Shawn K Haynie (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Developing ASP Components (Paperback)
I found this book to be very useful. I have been developing components now for 4 years and I still found this book useful. I have been trying to find a good book about developing components, especially in Visual C++. It has great examples for developing the asp page and connecting the page to the COM Object be it Visual Basic, Visual C++ or Java. A must have book for all. I emailed the author with a question and she email me right back.

4.0 out of 5 stars Terrific for new ASP programmers, Jan 20 2000
By M. J KILLEEN - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Developing ASP Components (Paperback)
If you are one of the many programmers who have recently moved to ASP -- you will greatly appreciate this book. This was the first book I read that fully explores how to leverage the technology you already know well (VB, C++, or Java -- with examples throughout) and leverage that to write powerful ASP Components (DLLs) that can do most of the work you need including data access and HTML generation. Theres a textbook examination of COM for those who like that sort of thing, but you can jump right in to the parts on MTS and separate sections on the development tool of your choice. Well worth studying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, but.., Nov 24 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Developing ASP Components (Paperback)
This is a good book on ASP components and gives a good introduction. It covers developing ASP components with VB,java and VC++. Only thing is lot of information(like if you mainly use VB, you won't be reading the stuff on VC,Java) may not be required and you can get lot of similar information from other COM books(like Distributed components - Ted Pattison).So maybe you won't want to buy a book on just ASP components and rather spend the money buying a book that covers COM in more detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the only one that actually covers ASP COM, Aug 24 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Developing ASP Components (Paperback)
I read this book and in a matter of a week I was up and running ASP components and interacting with MTS. This book will teach you not only how to program your components in VB but also VC++ and VJ++. The book also teachs you how to setup your components in MTS and what exactly each option means in the MTS component setup. If you can only buy one book about ASP and COM this is the book. This is also a good book for VB programmers looking for an introduction to web developing.
