Writing a COM object totally from scratch?

I just started a new job that involves lots of COM programming. I'm doing ok so far, by going on my COM fundamentals that I've picked up along my journey as a dev, but I'm the kind of guy that needs to know everything. And working with COM all day irks me since I don't know how this stuff works.

Is there a simple walk through to creating a basic COM object from scratch? I mean everything. No Visual Studio, no ATL. Just the compiler, and notepad.

If you can stand it, I would suggest Inside OLE2. It's a big, long tedious book that goes into quite a bit of detail of how COM works. I wound up reading this book several times, each time gaining a little deeper understanding.
