5.0 out of 5 stars A Book recommended for intermediate level programmers, July 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual FoxPro Enterprise Development, with CD-ROM (Paperback)
Contents of the book are purely from Visual Foxpro programmer's perspective and experiences. I am using the book whenever I do Visual Foxpro training on our company because it has comprehensive examples i.e. API routines, OLE connectivity, and Basic Foundation Classes. I also like the Client/Server application development the way it was discussed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not true to its title, February 5, 1998
By 
This review is from: Visual FoxPro Enterprise Development, with CD-ROM (Paperback)
The synopsis reads:

"This book is a developer's handbook designed to take the intermediate to advanced level Visual FoxPro developer right to the heart of developing a real live application."

I wish I had read these words more carefully before my purchase. Unfortunately, I bought the book on another's advice. If you are "intermediate to advanced level," you have probably already developed a "real live application." And having done so, you have already learned just about everything in this book.

The book is really a standard text on VFP's basic features. As such, it is decent, certainly better than the Microsoft documentation. The foundation classes included perhaps take it a step higher; they are good learning tools for a beginner or intermediate who has never put together a complete application in FoxPro. I found nothing in the text, however (and I read through most of it) that I would say is distinctive to the topic of "enterprise development". If you have an application or two under your belt, even in VFP 3.0, and you're looking to go to the next level, this book has nothing for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hands-on VFP 5.0 examples. Highly recommended!, June 14, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual FoxPro Enterprise Development, with CD-ROM (Paperback)
I liked their approach and examples. It includes VFP Foundation Classes in the CD-ROM that can get you working right away.

It is not a basic book for the very beginner. You should at least be a little familiar with the previous (pre Visual) Foxpro way of doing things.

It contains the following Sections:

- Analysis and Design. Establishing development standards.

- Object and Coding Development. OOP. Debugging. Multi-User development.

- Database Development. Creating a database and SQL.

- Application Deployment. Clients/Server. VFP and Internet applications. Distributing VFP applications.

I highly recommend this book for any serious VFP5 programmer
