reviewed Essential COM on June 13, 2020 Essential COM
Revisiting the definitive book on COM that taught me everything I needed to know. Even if you are not a developer, the first three chapters are worth a read simply for understanding it. COM has had a long life in the Microsoft developer ecosystem so that drives home the historical significance of this book even more.
