Also found Meyers, Effective C++; I was planning to hang on to that too, but I'm not sure why.

COM is a useful skill. I use it right now, without any of that ATL stuff.

Can I throw these out?
Just looking for a book and I found these two.
MSCD Training Kit : Desktop Applications with Visual C++ 6.0 and the VB equiv.
I found Wrox books on ATL COM too.
It's GOT to be more than six or seven years since I've looked at them.Tags: None
