Understanding Component-Based Development (Mps) Review by Steven A. Bell
Ready For A COM+ Version
Mary Kirtland has written a terrific resource for those who wish to know more (i.e. go from basic to advanced) on how to program with COM and MTS. I found the example code (and companion CD-ROM) very useful and relatively bug free. Some of the chapters include:
Windows DNA (now .NET)
COM (101)
Data Access Fundamentals
MTS
ASP
Extending MTS
Application Definition and Modeling
Building Data/Business Objects
Packaging
Building the Presentation Layer
Debugging and Troubleshooting (an excellent chapter on a tricky subject)
Performance Validation
Deploying
Extending the Application
COM+ (pretty good for when this was written, it is time to update the book with the latest and greatest, however).
Most of the information here is still relevant, especially to those with a smattering of COM or MTS under their belt and are hungry for more. Everything is wrapped up well with a comprehensive index. Well worth the purchase price. Definitely a must along with "Programming Distributed Apps with MS COM+ and MS VB."
