Superb OLE DB using ATL coverage.
This book has by far the only decent coverage of OLE DB using ATL in a book that is currently on sale.
and it is good on covering C++ ASP related code.

The Best for ASP
I read this book and then the amazon reviews...I have no idea where the negative reviews are coming from. I had no problem getting the code to work. If you are an ASP developer looking to write components, this book has what you need. You will learn how to write your own VB and C++ components and have them connect to the backend with (or without) MTS as desired. You need to know C++ (of course) and some COM to get the most out of the C++ components section...which has a nice coverage of the various threading models. While not as theoretical as some COM books, it gives you enough COM to get your components up and running...If you are developing ASP components, this is the book.

Code Problem
There is a problem with some of the code examples in Chapter 7. There are some minor dicrepancy in the some of the earlier code. I went back and checked the code in 7 again and the download code will not work and the code described would have to be modified in order to work. I consider this an egregious error on the part of the publisher and authors, especially since they've had more than 2 years to correct the mistake. I did find some of the information in some of the other chapters useful, but when sections are this bad, I begin to question everything else. I also examined wrox web site and found it humourous that the only errata given for a 2 year old book is only 8 days old.
