5.0 out of 5 stars Good source for advanced development, August 15, 1999

Michael Lopez, President, Emmerel Software Sy... (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Visual Basic 6 Unleashed (Paperback)

This book is an excellent choice for the experienced VB developer that is interested in true RAD development, and in utilizing some of the latest hot technologies.

This is an Intermediate-Advanced user level book. It is not an introduction to VB; as such it assumes the reader knows how to program in Visual Basic.

Not only does it introduce and describe how to utilize the rich features of the 6.0 development environment, it also introduces and describes how to incorporate hot technologies, such as TAPI, SAPI, MAPI, ADO, Socket programming, ActiveX servers and controls, Win API, DHTML, help systems, and more, into your VB projects using VB 6.0.

I found this book to be an invaluable addition to my collection, and refer to it often. The author was easily reached and happy to talk when I had an applications question.

5.0 out of 5 stars In a word - Comprehensive, January 12, 2000

Brian Brackeen "_code_poet_" (Denton, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Visual Basic 6 Unleashed with CDROM (Hardcover)

This book goes into detail on about 98% of the important features of VB6, the only lacking parts in my opinion are the parts on Internet capabilities of the language, but that is an entire book itself. I am a professional VB programmer and it is always by my desk at home and at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a very usefull book for the Intermediate to Advance., October 31, 1999

Carmelo Abbotto (Italy) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Visual Basic 6 Unleashed with CDROM (Hardcover)

I have found that this book has help me in building applications very quickly using the new features in rad. However the user must first have some knowldge of VB. However it opens the new world of VB6. It also makes references to 3rd party componets. The book is very helpfull in understanding that VB can be usefull in buiding templates which can then be tailored to specific requirements. It goes over ADO, and data base programming, DBGRID, MTS, Internet ect.
