2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, May 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual FoxPro 6 Enterprise Edition (Hardcover)

While this tome is probably adequate for beginners, it was not the technical reference this experienced developer needed. I got the feeling the authors had never really developed a significant product with FoxPro as they did not discuss much syntax or the nuances of the commands. "The Hacker's Guide...." is my book of choice for dealing with FoxPro in the real world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for those who need to implement the Windows API!, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual FoxPro 6 Enterprise Edition (Hardcover)

Not since the days when Mike Brachman was writing on integrating FoxPro and the Windows API has there been such a clear and concise text. This book as loads of great examples, and most importantly, discusses how to pass structures to Windows API functions that require those type of parameters.

This book is a must for any serious Visual FoxPro Developer. Hopefully, the tradition of excellence will continue with a version 7.0 of this book in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for non-newbies, June 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual FoxPro 6 Enterprise Edition (Hardcover)

This is a great book for people that are already familiar with the Visual FoxPro environment. It provides a no bull approach to using Visual FoxPro for real. It has great coverage of the Windows API and a great set of libraries for Microsoft Office. If you want to learn how to use the advanced features of VFP quickly then this book is for you.
