This revised second edition features more coverage of ActiveX component development, data transfer, and Internet scripting, while retaining the easy-to-use, "bite-sized chunks" philosophy of teaching good COM programming practices. This book makes COM and ActiveX easy to understand . . . and comfortable to use. The CD-ROM contains 9.5 MB of working sample code to cut and paste into applications.

Finally, OLE explained the right way--simply, elegantly and consistently. Well-organized to make sure readers understand simple aspects of OLE before moving on to more complex tasks, this book helps programmers understand OLE's organizing principles. Each chapter includes self-study programming exercises with detailed instructions.

This convenient workbook makes COM and ActiveX easy to understand, and comfortable to use. This new edition has been updated with 200 pages of new coverage, including Visual C++ 6, Visual J++ 6, IDL, monikers, Windows 2000 threads, and more. The CD-ROM contains all sample code from the book.

With its comprehensive overview of core technology areas, "MCSD in a Nutshell" is the perfect study guide and resource to help developers master technologies with which they relatively are inexperienced.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE'99 held in Heidelberg, Germany in June 1999. The 27 revised full papers presented together with 12 short research papers and two invited contributions were carefully selected from a total of 168 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on components, information systems management, method engineering, data warehouses, process modeling, CORBA and distributed information systems, workflow systems, heterogeneous databases, and information systems dynamics.

This book covers invariant probabilities for a large class of discrete-time homogeneous Markov processes known as Feller processes. These Feller processes appear in the study of iterated function systems with probabilities, convolution operators, and certain time series. From the reviews: "A very useful reference for researchers wishing to enter the area of stationary Markov processes both from a probabilistic and a dynamical point of view." --MONATSHEFTE FÜR MATHEMATIK
