COM Technical Overview topic is live
As one of my first undertakings in my new group, I wrote a little introductory overview of classic COM, which is now live: COM Technical Overview. Before this, we didn’t have a central topic that brings a bunch of fundamental ideas together, so now we have a handy place to link to. Concepts covered:
- Objects and Interfaces
- Interface Implementation
- The IUnknown Interface
- The Client/Server Model
- Service Control Manager
- Reusability
- Storage and Stream Objects
- Data Transfer
- Remoting
- Security
If you’re a COM jock or somebody who wants to learn about Windows plumbing, you may find this topic to be informative.
Feedback welcome!
