5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, January 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual dBASE 5.5 Programming in 21 Days (Teach Yourself in 21 Days) (Paperback)

This book is better than most because it takes you step by step through the creation of complete programs. After building about half of the programs in the book, I was already writing my own programs. This is a basic book for beginners. After mastering the basics, I found that I was better equipped to participate in on-line discussions to get my more advanced questions answered. The manual that comes with dBASE 7 is almost completely useless, but it becomes a little more understandable after reading this book first.

106607.3547@compuserve.com (Belgium) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual dBASE 5.5 Programming in 21 Days (Teach Yourself in 21 Days) (Paperback)

This book is a big disappointment. It misses everything on the basics of OOP. It won't explain anything about classes, methods or even variables. Big thumbs down ! BTW : if you are interested in multimedia, there are 3 chapters devoted to it. However, I would prefer them in a separate book than sacrifice on the essentials of OOP.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good place for getting started
The book was generally helpful, but the authors seem to forget about reports and creating toolbars and classes. I guess that I expected too much from such a simple book.

1.0 out of 5 stars useless book on vdbase
This book keeps telling the reader to use command line entry. To set up a form takes 3-4 pages when OOP does it in about 2 seconds. There is no real information in this book. Read more
