Four expert authors give a comprehensive look at the ATL Server library designed for building high-end web applications and web services. Other books on ATL do not go into depth on the ATL Server portion of the library (web services and web applications). Other books on ISAPI do not provide insight into the one library designed to make ISAPI development much easier. This is the only book written by the very people who created the ATL Server library.
