The latest book in Morgan Kaufmann's QuickTime Developer Series,
"QuickTime for .NET and COM Developers", is now available - http://
books.elsevier.com/us/mk/us/subindex.asp?isbn=0-12-774575-0. This
book was written by John Cromie, one of the architects of the new
QuickTime 7 ActiveX control and COM library.
The publisher describes the book thusly:
QuickTime for .NET and COM Developers is a practical guide
to the use of QuickTime for application developers using
popular Microsoft component-oriented development tools such
as Visual Basic, and the new .NET tools: Visual Basic .NET
and C#. A general introduction to QuickTime features and
their potential application is followed by a detailed
explanation of the QuickTime architecture from a COM and
.NET perspective. The remainder of the book demonstrates a
number of implementation samples, chosen to illustrate key
QuickTime features. These samples will range from a simple
multiple-window movie player to a sophisticated interactive
application.
Additionally, the book also includes chapters on scripting
QuickTime Player and using QuickTime in MS Office applications so it
is not just for application developers.
I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone interested in
using the new QuickTime 7 COM controls.
