Dcom: Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model with Cdrom

From the Publisher: Gone are the days of monolithic, multimegabyte application software - or, at least with Microsoft's Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), their days are numbered. Thanks to DCOM: Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model, you can begin developing your own next-generation, distributed applications. In this practical, professional-level reference, software design engineer Frank E. Redmond, III, not only teaches you the fundamentals of COM and building COM objects but also shows you, in depth, how to develop your own component-based applications. DCOM: Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model provides essential advice on successfully creating and deploying distributed applications across enterprise networks. Plus, it gives you plenty of source code (in the book and on the accompanying CD-ROM) you can adapt for your own projects. You'll learn how to Create both in-process and out-of-process COM servers Build new COM objects from existing COM objects by using containment and aggregation, COM's implementation and inheritance mechanisms Design COM objects that support custom interfaces, as well as COM objects that support Automation through the use of dual interfaces Structure multiple COM objects into a single, cohesive object hierarchy Use an object hierarchy to develop client/server applications Develop Web-based applications using an object hierarchy Improve client/server and Web-based application architectures using DCOM Plus, the bonus CD-ROM accompanying DCOM: Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model not only contains source codefrom all the examples presented in the book but also the Com Specification and DCOM for Windows 95.
