Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This book helps you exploit Microsoft Visual FoxPro 6, a powerful end-user tool that allows you to build small-scale but effective database programs quickly and that ships with Visual Studio 6. The guide assumes little programming or database experience and provides a basic tour of programming and objects, plus database objects like tables and views. (Visual FoxPro 6 is arguably a good place to try out basic object-oriented programming techniques for the very first time.)

Later sections examine how to build user interfaces with forms and controls. The samples aren't fancy, but this capable book gets you up and running with actual database applications. Important topics such as reports, distributing applications (using the Visual FoxPro run-time environment), and the FoxPro API are introduced. Other chapters explore ways to scale up FoxPro applications to SQL Server and Oracle and ways to access external DLLs. --Richard Dragan

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR BEGINNERS, September 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual FoxPro: Programmer's Guide (Paperback)
As we all know, Microsoft does not write books for beginners; therefore, if you were looking to learn a computer language or how to create databases using tools like Visual FoxPro, a Microsoft 'manual' would not be the book for you. The title should be "Microsoft Visual FoxPro 6.0 Intermediate to Advanced Programmer's Guide"

4.0 out of 5 stars An important Foxpro Manual, August 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual FoxPro: Programmer's Guide (Paperback)
This is not a book for beginners. It is intermediate to advance level detailing how to perform specific programming tasks, often with examples. In this regard, it is indespensible. I frequently use it to solve specific programming problems, such as "How do I use ActiveX with Foxpro?" It will give you the specific technique to use.

However, if you are new to Foxpro, start with something else.

1.0 out of 5 stars bloated, disoganized, boring, May 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual FoxPro: Programmer's Guide (Paperback)
I have to agree that this is quite possibly the worst guide of its kind ever created. Or at least, the worst I have ever experienced. Like trying to learn a language by reading the dictionary.
