Learning DCOM: Mastering Distributed Components on Windows
SEBASTOPOL, CA--DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) is
a recent upgrade of a time-honored and well-tested technology
promoted by Microsoft for distributed object programming. Now that
components are playing a larger and larger part in Windows 98,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000, Windows programmers need to
understand the technology. DCOM is a rich and robust method (competing
with CORBA) for creating expandable and flexible components, allowing
you to plug in new parts conveniently and upgrade without the need for code
changes to every program that uses your component.
A new O'Reilly book,
Learning DCOM,
by Thuan L. Thai, introduces C++
programmers to DCOM and gives them the basic tools they need to write
secure, maintainable programs. Learning DCOM clearly describes the C++ code
needed to create distributed components and the communications exchanged
between systems and objects. It provides a guide to Visual C++ development
tools and wizards, and insight for performance tuning, debugging, and
understanding what the system is doing with your code.
"Learning DCOM is not just about distributed computing," says author
Thuan L. Thai, "it is about building better software modules that can
peacefully co-exist and collaborate with one another regardless of
who has developed them."
