Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 5 is a collection of essays on using Visual Basic (VB) 5 to build enterprise applications--a task that frequently pushes VB past the limits of what it was meant to do. While these essays aren't meant to constitute a VB tutorial, they address many issues that you're likely to run into in when developing large production applications.
Some of the contributions discuss particular types of application functionality. Examples include essays on creating business objects for distributed applications, building Internet applications, and building applications that access data through Data Access Objects (DAOs), Remote Data Objects (RDOs), open database connectivity (ODBC), or DB-Lib. Other essays cover problems that will crop up in almost any application; topics of these essays include how to develop a methodical approach to error handling, suggestions for overall approaches to safe data typing and parameter passing, issues in migrating to VB 5, interface design, approaches to testing and QA, and how to manage large VB development projects. The contributions are detailed, well written, and will be of great interest to anyone working on large commercial projects. The 18 essay contributors are programmers from The Mandelbrot Set, a British development firm long associated with VB and Microsoft's Visual Basic development team. Examples and sample applications from the book are included on the bundled CD-ROM.

A waste of money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 5 (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)
This is not a 'learn-VB' book, basic, intermediate or advanced; nor is it a VB reference. It's just a disjoint series of vague discussions on stuff developers Don't need to get the job done.
