Learning ATL

Hello... I am rather familiar with MFC, Windows.. Now I found that soon there will be much needs for COM, I really want to get inside the ATL.. First of all I need a book that leads me the right way.. (With a month of searching for COM, now I can only use them) What Book Would You Recommand? I found "ATL Internals", "Inside ATL", "professional ATL..." And any more? Above All If there is good way to get familiar with ATL, Please Recommand it to me... Regards -a beginner

Hi, First of all learn the basics of COM programming itself no matter what are you going to use later VB, MFC, ATL or pure C++. Check "Essential COM" by Don Box, it's a nice book for the beginners. Then when you understand what is COM about you can jump into the ATL. Regards, Alex Gorev, Dundas Software.

"Essential COM" .... For a beginner, hmmmm. Sorry Alex but.... yes I learned a lot from the Essential COM book. heck, I always thought that Don invented COM.. ***BUT*** In the first 4 times :O I have tried to read the book I always get stuck on the fifth chapter... where Don suddenly speaks in different language I believe Essential COM is a great book. However it is not for beginners (at least not all chapters) I recommend, an easier path before digging into Essential COM. like "Understanding DCOM " by William Rubin and Marshall Brain. Then digging into "Essential COM" "Essential COM" is a great book, read it after you get your self familiar with the basic concepts first. I did. This is my Story and I am sticking to it :) Alfadhly
