David Chappell, Chappell Associates
Who should attend: Architects and developers familiar with general object-oriented design and programming techniques and who are interested in understanding the basics of Microsoft's key object technologies. Knowledge of a specific programming language, such as C++, is not required. This is not a programming course.
What you will learn:
An introduction to COM and COM-based technologies.
"ActiveX" is Microsoft's brand name for a wide range of technologies, all of which rely on the Component Object Model (COM). COM defines a language-independent view of objects, one that has become fundamental to software development in the Windows and Windows NT environments.Throughout 1997, COM will also become available on non-Microsoft systems, making it even more important.
This tutorial provides an introduction to COM and fundamental COM-based technologies. The topics covered include:
- Objects, interfaces, and classes
- Reuse through containment and aggregation
- Automation
- Persistence and monikers
