Description
What really happens behind the scenes when Windows applications communicate through reusable components? How does COM manage object creation, interfaces, memory, and versioning? And how does that architecture extend into distributed computing through DCOM and enterprise services through COM+?
COM, DCOM & COM+ Programming Mastery provides a practical and accessible guide to one of the most important component technologies in the Windows software ecosystem. Whether you are discovering COM for the first time, maintaining legacy applications, or working with complex enterprise systems, this book helps you understand not just how these technologies work, but why they were designed the way they were.
You will move from foundational concepts into the architecture and internals that experienced developers need to understand. Along the way, you will explore interfaces, GUIDs, reference counting, class factories, marshaling, proxies and stubs, activation, threading models, distributed communication, security, transactions, and enterprise component services.
What You'll Learn • Understand the architecture and programming model behind COM
• Work confidently with interfaces, CLSIDs, IIDs, reference counting, and object lifetime
• Explore COM activation, class factories, registration, and component management
• Understand apartments, threading models, synchronization, and concurrency
• Learn how DCOM enables communication between components across machines
• Understand marshaling, proxies, stubs, RPC, and remote object activation
• Explore DCOM security, authentication, authorization, and configuration
• Discover how COM+ extends COM for enterprise application development
• Understand transactions, object pooling, queued components, and role based security
• Diagnose common COM, DCOM, and COM+ problems in real world environments
• Develop a deeper understanding of legacy and modern Windows component architectures
Who This Book Is For This book is designed for software developers, Windows programmers, system architects, application maintainers, DevOps professionals, IT engineers, and computer science students who want a stronger understanding of COM, DCOM, and COM+.
