Review
This book is a complete guide to Visual Basic 5 for experienced programmers no matter what
language you are coming from.
It is not assumed that you have ever programmed in Visual Basic
before. The beginning of the book covers the underlying
programming language. Users with previous
experience with other versions of Visual Basic can skip chapters 3-6. As with
all books in the Core
Books series, it is filled with real examples that will provide a basis for your own code.
Even simple concepts like file handling are illustrated with a recursive file handler and a file encrypter
program.
The new key object oriented features of Visual Basic 5 are not illustrated with toy code but
with the start of a personnel management system and a generic sorting class. A set of templates is
provided that make it easier to build
more powerful controls. Also, a set of full featured Add-Inns that
you can use to make your VB environment more productive such as an Add-In that makes it easy to
clone a VB project. All of the Add-Ins come with full source and
explanations. |
