ATL Developer's Guide

Summary: First chapter is very promising
Review: I just read the first chapter last night. I found it to be very clear and succinct. In flipping through the rest of the chapters, they appear to be of the same quality.

I have some brief C++ experience from several years ago, and more recently some Java. All of my COM experience is with VB. With this background I was able to easily grasp the concepts being explained.

My goal is to learn to write COM objects in C++ as quickly as possible. This book is my choice for that task. It seems to have the balance of fundamentals review and new information that's right for someone who already has the basics of the C++ language and wants to expand into COM.

I haven't tested the code examples, so I can't be sure there aren't typos, but the code I saw looked correct to my relatively novice eye.

At this point, I'm very pleased with the purchase of this book.
