The Interface Definition Language (IDL) provides a way of describing COM interfaces that doesn't depend on any other programming language. As such, it is currently the best and most generic means available for expressing your interface and object designs. More than that, though, IDL is fundamental to the generation of the type libraries that enable Automation to work, and the marshaling code that allows COM remote procedure calls. Well-written IDL can enhance the performance of your COM components ? it's just too important to be left to the Wizards. This book clearly explains the syntax and usage of IDL, but that's only the beginning of the story. You'll also learn how to write efficient interfaces in a way that facilitates their use from languages other than C++. You'll get a comprehensive (over 40) list of interface and object design techniques and guidelines that shorten your design learning curve and pay for the price of the book. The book places all of this in context by demonstrating C++/ATL code that implements an On-Line Auction.
