Hey guys, I was wondering if there're any good sites that deal with learning C++/COM from the ground up? Looking for something like a crash course (two weeks, and not being hypothetical here). Assume knowledge in standard C/C++, or at least not a complete dummy.

A:
Since you're asking for websites, you can try this introduction to COM on The Code Project, and how to handle COM in plain C and in C++ on the same site. And of course, you have MSDN.

A:
In addition to the websites recommended by 'In silico' take a look at Step by Step COM Tutorial.
Finally Understanding COM After Changing a Light Bulb is not a 'crash course', but can be considered as 'the absolute minimum that a Windows programmer should know about COM'.

A:
If you use Visual C++, then it can handle COM with virtually no COM-specific knowledge. You can jump into Direct3D programming with no COM knowledge, except "Call this funny function instead of operator new", and, "Roll a custom smart pointer class using this function".
