4.0 out of 5 starsMedia Foundations by examples
By Timmy_A on March 14, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Media Foundations by examples

Developing Media Foundation Applications is the only book about the latest MS media framework called Media Foundation I know. As I mentioned in the title the book takes example based approach. Since chapter 3 every chapter contains 1 or 2 large examples about chapter's topics. This approach has many advantages, but also few drawbacks.

Advantages:

You have fully working code. Companion source code contains complete solutions that can be compiled and debugged. You can play with samples, modify codes, do your own experiments.

All codes are extensively commented. Nearly every 2nd or 3rd line of code has its own descriptive comment, something I have never seen in companion code in any other book.

Examples are complete, dealing with all most important tasks you will do when working with MF. You have examples how to create fully functional MFT, source and sink components, custom session or network streaming.

Sources are based on classes so you can easily incorporate them into your projects.

Even though MF is based on COM, the book examples don't use any advanced COM topics. You deal just with very basic COM stuff, like implementation of IUnknown, or registration of COM components - in pure C++ without ATL. The book also contains short COM primer which can be useful for those ones who have never worked with COM.

Problems:

The biggest problem ot the book is that it jumps too early to complex exmaples. If you don't have any experience with multimedia APIs (like DirectShow) you can have a problem to get some 'bigger picture' of MF. I (as newbie in multimedia) had a problem to put all pieces of knowledge together.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic book for media application developers
By Kevin Arruda on November 8, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Having considerable experience with windows and the media APIs, it is not easy to find worthwhile reading material. Many online examples & docs are either the same thing done 20 different ways or things done incorrectly. This book provides a central, correct reference for both new and experienced programmers; one which can be relied on to set proper examples for API usage and architecture. DirectShow, MF, and there underlying friend COM, are all rife with "gotchas" that, aside from resources like this book, are only available through debugging or raw experience.

I would recommend this book to any windows developer, especially those interested in implementing media application in Windows 8, as the DirectShow API is finally being put to bed in favor of full blown Media Foundation.

It depends on what I'm rating - the shipper was great, but there isn't any other publisher that has ever presented material on this subject.
The shipping was very fast. The book is only OK. I just wish Dietel had a book on the subject - they do such a great job presenting the material.
