Review
What's best here is the comprehensive, yet approachable, guide to all the Microsoft tools, APIs and standards needed for using VB to create large enterprise-level applications. This means looking at the three tiers for application partitioning--user, business, and data services--along the lines of Microsoft's recommended practice. The authors cover all the steps needed to design and code applications in today's corporate environments, along with a solid introduction to UML diagrams. Wherever possible, they make use of tools (like the VB Class Builder) to speed up development, and the title is chockfull of actual screenshots to help you along.
These project design techniques are illustrated through an online banking application. The authors walk through all the steps required to build it on all three tiers, from the underlying database schema (created in SQL Server 7 and then accessed through stored procedures and ActiveX Data Objects), plus business objects for simulating basic banking transactions. Despite some high-level material, this text is anchored in a practical, very hands-on sample application that you can build and deploy on your own.
Later sections turn to the user interface or presentation layer. First, the application is built using a traditional standalone client, and then the book presents a Web-based HTML interface generated with Active Server Pages (ASPs). A final section looks at XML for sharing data between applications.
It's hard enough to use VB with objects for the beginner, and mastering all the standards (with such acronyms as UML, COM+, SQL, ADO, MTS, HTML, and ASP) is even tougher. Beginning Visual Basic 6 Application Development covers all the necessary terrain and gives intermediate developers what they need to tackle serious enterprise projects with VB. --Richard Dragan, Amazon.com
