4.0 out of 5 stars Good read for managers and OO beginners, but hardly more, March 24, 1999
By ECancelada@aol.com (Barrington, NH USA) - See all my reviews
I will agree with the previous readers that it is an excellent book, BUT ONLY FOR TWO TYPES OF AUDIENCES: 1) programmers who have a very, very vague idea about OOD/OOP and feel intimidated and/or confused by official Microsoft Developer's Guide. 2) Project Managers who does not have clear idea how to approach the development with VFP correctly and want to get some knowledge fast. I will recommend this book to the programmers familiar with OO technology ONLY AS A FAST REFRESHER COURSE, since the most of them are familiar with material in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Living Proof that Amazon's review pages work...., January 5, 2000
By "andrea54" (Reading, Berks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I had to learn Foxpro.

My IT Department couldn't (?) get the manuals. They'd installed it wrongly and the online help didn't work.

They bought me "Foxpro for Dummies".

I threw it at them. (Yes, it IS useless - they should have read the Amazon reviews.)

They bought me another book which was quite interesting but didn't help with what I needed (How do I do this? )

I bought the manuals myself but realised I needed a bit of an overview. - I mean, procedural programming is like a toy train set, but this is like Lego (and which bloody brick does the bit of code go in? )

Thank you for the reviews - this IS a good (nay, brilliant)book for anyone getting to grips with OOP - and you don't often get (rude) jokes in a book like this. If you know a bit about programming and need something to give you the bigger picture, this is it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great to shorten the learning curve to VFP's Ob.Orientation, July 5, 1997
By A Customer

I liked it very much. It really clicked. It helped to bridge the gap from previous Fox 2.x (and XBase in general) knowledge, to getting a handle in the concepts of Object Orientation, and Visual Foxpro's implementation of it
I highly recommend it to anybody that wants to jump from the XBase world into the Visual, OO world

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginners (like myself)
Very easy to read. You get the basic idea and concepts of Object Orientation in no time. Although you will need a more advanced book later, it is better to read this one first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference. An easy read on a vital topic.
This book is a must for anyone new to object oriented programming, particularly in VFP. It is not unnecessarily lengthy but gets you quickly to the information you need.
