Product Description
Finally, OLE explained the right way--simply, elegantly and consistently. Well-organized to make sure readers understand simple aspects of OLE before moving on to more complex tasks, this book helps programmers understand OLE's organizing principles. Each chapter includes self-study programming exercises with detailed instructions.
Customer Reviews & Comments When I started reading this book, I thought it looked pretty good. Then I started to see goofy assertions about how the author thought C++ should be coded (which were downright wrong). It makes me mad when people assume that the way to program in C++ is the way MFC is programmed. This book perpertuates this idea. Telling people that multiple inheritance in bad has no place in this book. If the author does not understand the proper use of this C++ feature, then they should not discuss it. It is hardly pertinent to the subject in the first place. I also noticed that the book was originally OLE stuff that has been re-purposed for ActiveX. There are nuggets of information if you want to wade through this book though.
