EXCELLENT VISUAL BIOGRAPHY OF THE MAN.......2001-04-03
King Cole rules forever!.......2000-08-14
Nat King Cole, in my opinion, was the greatest singer that ever lived, and he was a wonderful jazz pianist (even though after 1948, he played the piano less and less). The video goes into a lot of detail, whereas other Nat documentaries somehow leave you wanting to know more. Also featured are interviews with Freddy and Evelyn Coles, Nat's siblings, Maria Cole, Cole's widow, Natalie and Carole Cole, Nat's daughters, jazz pianist George Shearing, Harry Belafonte, Eartha Kitt and Quincy Jones. Also very moving was the final tune, "Stardust", undoubtedly the best version of that song ever recorded. When you heard Nat's voice, footage of his funeral was shown. I honestly broke down and cried, I was so affected.
NAT KING COLE: UNFORGETTABLE is an excellent look at what made this man and his music so special and beloved all over the world. Obviously he made a colossal impact, because his music is still selling, perhaps even better now than it ever did when he was alive. Seeing this video plainly shows why. It is a must-have for Nat's fans, and also makes for a wonderful study in African-American history. Highly recommended.

The Barry Diller Story: The Life and Times of America's Greatest Entertainment Mogul
George Mair Manufacturer: Wiley ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0471130826 |
Book Description
When Barry Diller first stepped onto the Hollywood playing field more than three decades ago, few could have imagined the tremendous impact and power he would one day hold in the entertainment industry. Smart, brash, and a bold risk taker, Diller is considered by many to be the best the business has ever seen. Now, in an eye-opening, vastly entertaining biography, Mair offers a riveting, behind-the-scenes look at the life and work of Barry Diller. Chronicling the brilliant successes—as well as the bitter struggles—of this legendary media mogul, Mair reveals Diller as Hollywood's most visionary executive.Perhaps more than any other studio executive in recent history, Barry Diller has influenced the viewing habits of both big and small screen audiences. With creativity and insight, he drastically altered the landscape of television programming with groundbreaking, critically acclaimed concepts such as the movie-of-the-week and the miniseries—the first of which was the landmark premiere of Alex Haley's Roots. Always on the cutting edge, Diller also introduced such offbeat—and controversial—shows as The Simpsons and Married . . . With Children. He has also exerted enormous influence over the motion picture industry, revolutionizing the process by which studios acquire scripts, and greenlighting a string of megahits, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, 48 Hours, and Terms of Endearment.
The Barry Diller Story reveals how this media giant climbed from the mailroom of the William Morris Agency to top positions at Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and QVC. With exacting detail, Mair deftly weaves tales of Diller's impressive accomplishments, from his rescue of Paramount Pictures to his historic launching of a fourth network, Fox TV. Here, too, are sobering descriptions of hard-fought failures, among them Diller's abortive attempt at a leveraged buyout of Paramount, and his bid for a CBS-QVC merger.
Today, running Silver King Communications and Savoy Pictures, Barry Diller has embarked on yet another bold media adventure: creating his own television network. A man who has made invaluable contributions to the entertainment industry in the past, he figures to make even more in the future.
The Barry Diller Story boasts a colorful supporting cast of Tinseltown heavy hitters. Among the A-list names you'll find Rupert Murdoch, Sumner Redstone, Marvin Davis, and Michael Eisner. Brimming with fabulous stories of multi-million dollar deals and volatile business alliances, The Barry Diller Story is a revealing look at not only one of today's most powerful media moguls, but the fast-paced and competitive industry in which he has been a star player for more than thirty years.

ATL Internals (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)
Brent E. Rector , and Chris Sells Manufacturer: Addison-Wesley Professional ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0201695898 |
Amazon.com
Written for the advanced C++ programmer, ATL Internals reveals the inner workings of the Active Template Library (ATL), the toolkit of choice for building today's lightweight Internet and server components.The book begins with a tour of the ATL code generated by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6 AppWizard. The authors introduce fundamental ATL programming issues here, but they do not provide a general introduction to COM or ATL; they assume that readers have a good deal of background in both C++ and COM.
The book focuses on the extremely useful ATL support classes for managing strings (BSTRs), variants, and smart pointers. It covers the classes that help instantiate COM components (and examines support for different threading models and "creator" classes). The guide continues with object internals--covering object maps and the classes used to manage them--and interfaces, including aggregates and various interface design options. Information on ATL's support for persistence, which lets objects save and restore their state; on how ATL supports basic containers; and on interfaces that work with the Standard Template Library (STL) in C++ is well done.
Later sections explain how to work with windows and ActiveX controls. After some material on events (and connection points), the authors reveal ATL support for basic window operations, including dialogs. For building a custom ActiveX control, the authors provide an excellent example of a nicely functional visual control. (This code will prove invaluable since it illustrates all the essentials of ATL component programming.) --Richard Dragan
Book Description
ActiveX controls are a Microsoft technology that allowsThis book provides practical solutions for programmers, and explains
these solutions on a detailed, technical level -- keeping the technology in
a real-world context that many books lack. Programmers will learn how to
create new ActiveX controls using ATL, and how to modify the thousands of
available ActiveX controls to fit specific needs.
Written by well-respected writer and teacher Brent Rector along with
DevelopMentor's Chris Sells, the content of this book has been taught in
courses for the Technology Exchange Company and Wise Owl Consulting. The
book covers the latest version of ATL, 2.1, a major revision.

ATL Internals Book.......2006-01-25
This is a six star book.......2002-10-10
I have a good number of books on COM and ATL but getting the low down on ATL starts and ends in this book. The coverage in unbeleiveable. It will make you think you were part of the ATL implementation team.
This book is not a short cut for learning COM programming.You should have a good understanding of how COM works and you also need to know your c++ well(emphasis on well. This book does not teach c++)
However, considering the .NET revolution, ATL may not be of much use for much longer.But if for some reason you need to learn ATL, this book is the ATL University.
Don't do ATL or COM without it.......2002-05-05
ATL Internals not only discusses ATL but also does and excellent job discussing COM's theory of operation and how a Win32 OS supports COM.
As a warning, however, ATL Internals isn't the only book that you need on a COM project because it is specialized on ATL (and on COM in general). While ATL is useful it is not the only thing that you will have to deal with on a COM project. You will probably need to work with IDL files and for that I can unequivocally recommend "Essential IDL" by Martin Gudgin.
ATL Internals accomplishes several things well; I will try to describe the most valuable aspects of this book. One of the best properties of this book is that it is thorough. It covers ATL in depth.
The following is a partial list of the material in ATL Internals:
1) ATL Internals covers using the wizards and explains how to proceed beyond the point where the wizards quit.
2) A though discussion of ATL facilities. For example: CComPtr (a COM smart pointer), CComBSTR (a class wrapped around the error-prone BSTR datatype) classes are covered in detail. The text conversion macros are completely covered here. In other books and on the internet I saw code examples that used them but will little explantion.
3) Bug warnings, both your (potential) bugs and bugs within ATL. The authors point out the buggy parts of ATL and they invest the necessary effort to warn out about aspects of ATL that, if naively used, create bugs. Numerous pages are dedicated to showing both how to correctly use certain hazardous parts of ATL as well as examples of buggy code. Depreciated techniques are also described for completeness.
4) Discussion and examples of various COM issues, including threading issues, connection points, the Service Control manager (SCM)and so on.
5) Detailed discussion of the numerous macros that Microsoft uses to conceal substantial code, (e.g. BEGIN_OBJECT_MAP, COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY_IMPL, etc.)
6) One of the appendixes shows a cross reference between ATL classes and header file names. This was a welcome convenience (yes I could have greped, but this is quicker)
ATL Internals not only has great content but it is written in a very readable style. The typeset is easy to read and the diagrams are well done.
The best book for understanding what's REALLY going on.......2002-02-14
After successfully using Chapter 7 (Collections & Enumerations) for what I needed, I went back and read the whole book from front to back, and started really to understand what was happening under the covers - the whys and wherefores for all of the seemingly quirky little code chunks that I had seen peppered throughout my code, but not understood fully.
This book has become an indispensible resource, that I keep close at hand. I can't really recommend it as a first book on COM or as an introduction to ATL, but this is not a criticism, because that's not its intended purpose. For in-depth coverage of the workings of ATL, though, I haven't come across a better book.
A great book for ATL.......2001-12-01
