Product Description
From Amazon
Aimed at the more experienced developer or Windows administrator responsible for deployment, COM and.NET Component Services provides an expert guide to getting the most out of COM+services on the Windows 2000/XP platform, including material on the new.NET platform. This guide will help you create state-of-the-art, scalable Windows components that take full advantage of transactions, object pooling, and powerful administrative features available in COM7#43;.
While Microsoft is about to replace COM components with the new.NET standard, COM+ is still a viable technology and will be fully supported (and even enhanced) in the new.NET Framework. Much of COM and.NET Component Services concentrates on C++ and Visual Basic examples that explore areas of functionality, plus practical tips for configuring and administering components with such tools as the COM+ Services Explorer.
The expert perspective here will help you design components that work with COM+ effectively. There is plenty of background material here on COM+ topics like marshalling and interception, which allow objects to be pooled behind the scenes on the Windows platform. But the focus is on the real APIs and programming techniques developers need to work with COM+. This practical focus extends to specific suggestions and "pitfalls" to avoid for each area of COM+ development. There is good material on COM+ transactions here, along with some excellent material on asynchronous components that tap COM+ queuing capabilities.
The book concludes with a long chapter on.NET, which brings this title up-to-speed with Microsoft's new programming platform. The author recaps the APIs covered earlier in the book using.NET and C#. (COM+ is still a part of.NET, but you'll use a different set of APIs and programming language to work with it.) The book concludes with a glance at new COM+ 1.5 features, plus a quick introduction to.NET.
In all, this title strikes a good balance between the old and the new. After reading this smart and fast-moving text, developers will be able to learn COM+ skills right now that will have practical benefit for both current and future Windows software. --Richard Dragan

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, straight to the point,
By Constantin-Dinu Marinescu (Ottawa, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: COM & .NET Component Services (Paperback)
Don't worry about the slight .Net presence in the book; there is no "new generation" of COM+ in .Net, .Net simply includes COM+ (of course there is a new name for it: Enterprise Services, but this is just pure marketing matter)!I haven't finished the book yet, but I can say Juval found the right way in explaining most of the COM+ features and why are they indispensable in building enterprise apps by focusing on the business logic and not on the plumbing (object pooling for supporting scalability, transaction management, synchronization etc). The writing style is clear, the content is exhaustive enough for covering all the aspects of COM+/.Net Enterprise Services and, the last but not the least, the book has less than 400 pages. Other recommended books about COM+: -Transactional COM+, by Tim Ewald: if you need to know more COM+ internals about contexts, apartments etc. -Programming Distributed Apps with COM+ and VB6, by Ted Pattison: excellent lecture, easy and explains very well the "why"s. - Visual Basic and COM+ Programming: by Peishu Li. Very similar style with Juval's book, except that the code is VB instead of C++.

Beware...COM Services and some pages about .NET,

This review is from: COM & .NET Component Services (Paperback)
Don't get me wrong!! It's a great book, for understanding COM+ and use it, without all the headache of learning "why".But i think many people would believe is a good about .NET and how to use COM Services, but you will get only a few pages about implementing both technologies together. But, like i've said, it's a good book about COM Services.
