OLE is a unified and extensible environment of object-based services with the overall purpose of enabling rich integration between components. As Microsoft's object technology, it represents major innovations in object-based programming, making it possible to create applications and software components with unprecedented capabilities. But with this power comes additional complexity and new programming paradigms. Inside OLE provides both a clear tutorial and a strong set of example programs, giving you the tools to incorporate OLE into your own development projects. Written by a member of the Microsoft OLE team, this book truly gives you the insider's perspective on the power of OLE for creating the next generation of innovative software. Inside OLE provides detailed coverage and reference material on OLE and object fundamentals: Objects and interfaces, connectable objects, custom components and the Component Object Model, and Local/Remote Transparency; storage and naming technologies: Structured storage and compound files, persistent objects, and naming and binding; data transfer, viewing, and caching: Uniform Data Transfer, viewable objects, data caching, OLE Clipboard, and OLE Drag and Drop; OLE Automation and OLE Property: Automation controllers; property pages, changes, and persistence; OLE Documents: OLE Documents and embedding containers; OLE Documents and local embedding servers; in-process object handlers and servers; linking containers; and in-place activation (visual editing) for containers and objects; and OLE Controls and the future of OLE: OLE Controls, future enhancements, and component software. If you're interested in fully exploring and understanding OLE and component software, there's no better source than Inside OLE.

A narrative of pioneer hardship and heroism on the boundless Dakota prairie, as a Norwegian-American immigrant family passed through Ellis Island and worked to eke out a living in America's midwest.

"One of the most insightful books ever written about college football." —The New York Times Now revised and updated by the author, MEAT MARKET proves that in college football, the game off the field is more brutal than the one on the field. In this shattering expose, Bruce Feldman goes into the war rooms to show who stands to profit when champions get built, and at what cost. A college football program can become a multi-million dollar industry for its school, but only if that program wins. The quest for excellence goes beyond the guts and the glory of the gridiron—it goes into the war rooms where recruiters size up every metric to determine which high-school phenom they want to recruit to the university. Bruce Feldman—FOX Sports College Football Insider—rips the cover off the game’s frenzied pursuit of raw talent, taking you deep inside the SEC war room of recruiting legend Ed Orgeron, the combustible Cajun who helped build national championship teams at the University of Miami and at USC. In a stunning, blow-by-blow account of the year leading up to National Signing Day 2007, the award-winning journalist shadows Orgeron and his Ole Miss assistants as they set about hunting high school students, pleading, plotting, and inventing ways to lure them to their sleepy Oxford campus. Packed with candid confessions and outrageous off-the-field action, Meat Market makes what happens on the field seem almost tame by comparison. MEAT MARKET is a must-read for all college football fans, an eye-opening discovery of what it takes to put their favorite team on the field.
