4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good web development reference for VFP developers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0 (Paperback)
Overall I think that Rick's book is very good. It assumes you are fascile with VFP. I believe that Rick has succeeded (moreso than Microsoft) at enlightening readers how to take advantage of the power that VFP offers for web development. The one drawback to the book is the age-old "moving target" dilemma. Since the book hs been published, Microsoft has delivered a (more) truly multithreaded version of the VFP runtime engine, and it now supports the Compile command in the run time version. This changes the equation a bit when it comes to deciding how to best deploy VFP as a web database server, and I wish Rick would e-publish an addendum that thoroughly addresses this. Regardless, I think the book is still an essential reference. To my knowledge, it's the only one of its kind.

VFPers now have the tool as reference WEB development,
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0 (Paperback)
If we (VFPers) wanted to stay competitive in the arena of Software Development, we should be thinking of migrating apps into the Internet. This book is a perfect guide for us to build dynamic WEB Applications. Now, I am little bit at ease because VFP really is a powerful tool and I don't have anymore pressure to look for another just for WEB building.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Concise text explains the art, shows solid rules & examples,
By A Customer
This review is from: Internet Applications with Visual FoxPro 6.0 (Paperback)
The clarity in which this book describes emerging technologies is astounding. It seems to be right on the pulse of internet development and shows in clear examples how things work. But it does not stop there; all the little tricks that make the various products and tools sing in harmony are detailed and the author gives work-arounds and offers best practice rules for us to apply. (I have already tried many of them and they all work just as described!) It is too bad that the section on XML was written prior to the release of IE5. I could have really used the author to elaborate his keen insight and vision into generating XML/XSL -- but, hey, if I knew yesterday what I know today... Limited time prevents me from reading too many books, but I highly recommend this one to anyone who is or wants to build really great web applications in Visual Studio.
