Review
Mastering Visual Basic 6.0 Development introduces readers to the bread and butter of the Visual Basic programmer: Database access programs. With lots of detailed prose and many laboratory exercises, the authors help illuminate the new VB6 ways of connecting users to data. The authors combine excellent documentation of the VB6 development environment with solid explanations of certain features of the VB language itself. They give particularly heavy attention to the mechanics of creating an ActiveXcontrol (including data-bound ones) and to the relatively new ActiveX DataObjects (ADO) strategy for managing connections to data repositories. The book earns its keep with its clear explanations of these topics alone.
The authors' explanatory material combines descriptive prose with precise procedures, screen shots, and lists of options. They include some code listings, too, mostly utility subroutines that readers can borrow. The real strength of this book lies in its liberal use of hands-on exercises (based on the contents of the companion CD-ROM) as a means of helping the reader understand the VB6 language and development environment. Though the hands-on exercises sometimes seem contrived (which, after all, they are),they serve their purpose of familiarising the reader with various aspects of VB6. Readers will know what to look for in reference books after they work through the demonstrations presented here. --David Wall,amazon.com
Topics covered: Data tools that ship with Visual Basic 6, ComponentObject Model (COM) modules, ActiveX controls, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO),and VB data-access programs on the Internet.
