Atl Internals

The Classic Guide to ATL–Now Updated for ATL 8 and Visual Studio 2005 Four leading Windows programming experts systematically reveal ATL’s inner workings, explaining not just how ATL works, but why it works the way it does. Client-side developers will master ATL’s resources for windowing, COM control, MFC integration, web service proxy generation, and more. Server-side programmers will discover ATL’s full COM server and object services, and its extensive support for high-throughput, high-concurrency web applications, and services. Every Windows developer will learn powerful ways to increase flexibility, reduce overhead, and maximize transparency and control. • Discover ATL’s internals through diagrams, example code, and internal ATL implementation code • Walk through wizards that simplify ATL usage in common applications • Master string handling in C++, COM, and ATL • Leverage ATL smart types, including CComPtr, CComQIPtr, CComBSTR, and CComVariant • Understand and choose the right options for implementing IUnknown • Create glue code that exposes COM objects from COM servers • Use canned interface implementations to support object persistence, COM collections, enumerators, and connection points • Build standalone applications and UI components with ATL window classes and controls • Use ATL Server to develop web applications that run on Microsoft IIS

Early to market, this will be one of the first books to cover ActiveX controls and ATL and will be the first classroom-tested book on this technology. The ActiveX Template Library (ATL) is a class library for Visual C++: pre-built code modules that speed development. Using a functional approach, this book addresses the real-world choices facing Windows developers and provides practical solutions.

A book/CD-ROM guide to mastering Microsoft Transact-SQL and developing the best possible code. Some 600 code examples not only illustrate important concepts and best practices, but also provide working Transact-SQL code that can be incorporated into real-world DBMS applications. Begins by explaining language fundamentals such as database and table creation, then moves on to advanced topics such as OLE automation. The CD-ROM contains a set of code examples from the book plus a SQL programming environment. Henderson is a nationally recognized consultant and leading DBMS practitioner.

"This book is a good starting point for organizations and individuals who are adopting UP and need to understand how to provide visualization of the different aspects needed to satisfy it. " --Eric Naiburg, Market Manager, Desktop Products, IBM Rational Software This thoroughly revised edition provides an indispensable and practical guide to the complex process of object-oriented analysis and design using UML 2. It describes how the process of OO analysis and design fits into the software development lifecycle as defined by the Unified Process (UP). UML 2 and the Unified Process contains a wealth of practical, powerful, and useful techniques that you can apply immediately. As you progress through the text, you will learn OO analysis and design techniques, UML syntax and semantics, and the relevant aspects of the UP. The book provides you with an accurate and succinct summary of both UML and UP from the point of view of the OO analyst and designer.
