Rick,
>I can tell you this though: It's very frustrating trying to learn about the new stuff right now. Lots of books out there - most don't deal with the new features at all but are rehashes of existing books with a few additional notes for COM+.
I saw a reference today to a book by Roger Sessions called something like "COM+ and The Battle for the Middle Tier". Didn't have time to look at it or even to see when it was published.
Have you seen that one, or any comments about his books in general?
