Summary: Applying Com+
Review: I bought this book relying on the good reviews you have on your website. I was dissapointed.The book lucks of thorough explanations of COM+, the sample codes can't be applyed to the real world. It seems like either the previous reviewers work for Mr.Brill or the reviews were written by his friends.

Summary: Well worth reading
Review: I disagree with the previous reviewer. I have a strong background in COM/MTS architecture and wanted to understand what was different in the COM+ arena. The book provided me a well-organized overview of the COM+ architecture. New (and old) features were accurately described. Discussions of when and how to implement various aspects of COM+ were well-reasoned. I have not found any inaccuracies. Building enterprise-class COM applications involves more than understanding how to build a COM object -- you have to know how to install and administer those objects within the COM+ architecture. Brill's book targets that need.

Summary: Very good explanation of COM, COM+ in detail
Review: I have several books on COM+ but this is the best one. Author introduced COM+ in an appropriate manner and order and users are easily able to understand this technology. I really recommend this book to whom is eager to know COM+.

Summary: Review of Applying COM+
Review: I like this book, it really gets down to the root level. The author's approach to the topic is very methodical, which is good.I think that this book is good for people who are advanced VB programmers, and any C++ programmers wanting to leverage COM+ in their applications. Anybody who is truly an advanced VB programmer should be able to read IDL and C++ code and see what is generally going on. I really liked the level of detail that the author went into about COM+, and I liked how the author got under the hood. I consider this book as a good COM+ reference book.

Summary: A very easy read, good conceptual explanations
Review: I too, bought this book based on the recommendation of the strong reviews below. I was not as disappointed as the previous reviewer however. Admittedly some of the source code examples are somewhat esoteric, but they are illustrative nonetheless. There may exist better reference books on this topic, but on the whole I found the conceptual explanations of COM+ to be precise and well articulated. Wholeheartedly recommended.
