Book Description
But the real value of this book is in section 2 (chapters 5-11). Since the vast majority of corporate VB applications process data, here you'll learn how to develop database applications using ADO, the way the best professionals do. At the same time, you'll learn how to use the time-saving VB6 tools that support ADO, like the Data Environment Designer, to develop those applications.
In the last section (chapters 12-15), you'll master other skills that a professional programmer needs, like how to create and use ActiveX components and how to distribute a finished application. In short, you'll be thoroughly prepared to work as a Visual Basic programmer in industry...and to master new VB skills on your own, as you need them.
To help you learn more easily, this book presents 12 complete business applications, including all of the Visual Basic code. In our 26 years of publishing computer books, we've found that real-world applications like these are the critical ingredient for successful programmer training. And yet they're missing from most other VB books. (By the way, these applications and the databases you need to test them are available for download from our web site.)
So try this book for yourself and see why we say, "No other VB book teaches you so much, so fast, so thoroughly!"
