About this title

Synopsis

This reference speaks to the huge base of Visual Basic developers who, until now, could only learn about COM by reading books written for C++ programmers. Now they can get up to speed quickly and participate in Microsoft's strategy for distributed computing. The Foreword is by Don Box, the industry guru for COM technology.

Review

Microsoft's DCOM is the key technology for enterprise development for the Windows platform. Written for the working Visual Basic developer or project manager, Programming Distributed Applications with COM and Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 introduces the basics of DCOM objects in a clear style. All examples are written in Visual Basic, and the reader learns about new Microsoft BackOffice technologies such as Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) (for transaction processing) and Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) (for message queuing). If your shop uses Microsoft tools, Visual Basic 6 stands ready to write today's scalable distributed applications using DCOM. This well-organized text shows you how DCOM works and what advantages it offers for today's enterprise developer using Visual Basic 6. --Richard Dragan
