About this title

Synopsis

The Active Server Library (ATL) is a tool that simplifies the creation of COM components. The latest version , ATL 3.0, marks the blossoming of ATL as a technology. It now covers the entire spectrum of COM applications. COM is the grand unifying technology on Microsoft platforms, providing the core infrastructure for this and the next generation of Windows. ATL is simply the best way to create COM components, combining flexibility and ease of use with great performance. We'll show you how to get started with COM and ATL. More than that, we'll show you how to create useful controls as we back up the theory with ambitious examples in every chapter.

About the Author

ATL took hold of Richard Grimes while he was part of a team developing a COM-based workflow system. Its elegance and symplicity had a lasting effect on him. Now, although Richard does not live an obsessively pure COM lifestyle, he finds that ATL gives him more time to enjoy his garden. Richard writes and advises on COM and ATL, and can be contacted via email at atl.dev@grimes.demon.co.uk.

George V. Reilly has been a member of the IIS/ASP development team since shortly before ASP 1.0 shipped at the end of 1996. Nowadays he is responsible for IIS performance. He has been doing his best to write tight code since he discovered the BBC Micro in his native Dublin, Ireland in 1982. In retrospect, he has a hard time believing that he found enough time to co-write "Beginning ATL COM Programming", Wrox Press, 1998. He can be reached at gvr@halcyon.com.

Alex Stockton runs the World of ATL website when he's not writing and editing for Wrox Press. He can be contacted at alexs@wrox.com.

Orginally trained as a geologist, Julian got side-tracked into programming in the late 70's, and has never found his way back. After working in computer graphics and the oil industry, he now works for a London-based training and consultancy company, where he spends a large part of his time lecturing on C++ and Windows programming. He can be contacted at julian@groucho.demon.co.uk.

Karli Watson is an in-house author for Wrox Press with a penchant for multicolored clothing. He started out with the intention of becoming a world famous nanotechnologist, so perhaps one day you might recognize his name as he receives a Nobel Prize. For now, though, Karli's computing interests include all things mobile, and upcoming technologies such as C#. He can often be found preaching about these technologies at conferences, as well as after hours in drinking establishments. Karli is also a snowboarding enthusiast, and wishes he had a cat.
