COM and .NET Component Services

This book discusses COM+ component services. Each service is
covered in its own chapter, and each chapter discusses a similar
range of issues: the problem the service addresses, possible
solut ions to that problem, an in-depth description of the COM+
solut ion, tradeoffs, design, and implementat ion guidelines, tips, and
known pit falls. I have t ried to provide useful design informat ion and
lessons I learned while applying COM+. I also descr ibe COM+ helper
classes and ut ilit ies I developed that will enhance your productivity
significantly. (The COM+ Events helper objects and the COM+
Logbook are prime examples.) This book focuses on the «how to»—
that is, it provides practical information. You should read the
chapters in order , since most chapters rely on information discussed
in the preceding chapters. The book also aims to explain COM+ step
by step. A software engineer already familiar with COM who wants
to know what COM+ is and how to use it can read this book and
star t developing COM+ applications immediately.
