Summary: Primitive examples.
Review: I really liked Professional Atl Com Programming, so when I found this book and read reviews I decided to check out the source code before purchasing it. The example source code is incredibly primitive. Unicode - non-Unicode issue is totally ignored. Author did not even bother to build all the configurations. It is something average programmer can hack up together in one afternoon. If this book as primitive as the examples, I would not recommend it to any one.

Summary: Not a Reference book
Review: This book contains good information, and the price is right, but it isn't usable as a reference book. The index is short and incomplete, making finding needed material difficult. Further, when I'm looking up something specific in a reference it is because I have a need to solve a problem immediately. However, there are very few code examples in this book: so much for solving my problem immediately.As a book about ATL it would have rated 3 stars, as a reference it rates 1.

Summary: Confused mismash unusable as reference or narrative guide
Review: This book makes an attempt to be both a reference guide to ATL programming and a tutorial as well, and fails miserably at both. It constantly and throughout the book refers to concepts not explained until leter chapters. The tutorial example is hopelessly complicated by issues unrelated to the topic at hand, and the overall organization will leave you spending more time hunting for the section a particular topic is covered in than would have taken to sit down and read through full chapters in a good narrative.
