Good look at VB objects and how to apply it

I purchased this book recently and I'm very happy with it. I'm an experienced C/C++ developer and have used Visual Basic for many projects on the PC....but not with the object oriented capabilities of VB. This book provided the necessary backgound on how to create real world applications using VB objects and provided good background on ActiveX Components (COM) as it pertains to VB. Just enough information is provided about the theory without putting you to sleep. I disagree with the other bad comments I read about the book. I feel the author does a great job of stepping you through all the ways of representing objects in VB.

Great for expamples using the 3-tier architecture

I have read many VB books and have also taught VB at the two-year college level. This book is a must if you are an intermediate VB programmer wanting to learn how to build classes in a 3-tier architecture. It has clear coding examples that demonstrate how the theory works in Visual Basic. It also explains using Active X components and has an excellent chapter on using Visual Modeler.

GREAT INTRODUCTION/REVIEW MATERIAL

If you don't know the contents of this book cover to cover,then you're contributing to the negative stereotypes surroundingvisual basic programmers. This book is a must for beginners and intermediates alike. The material is presented in a very organized format and is easy to follow with practical examples.BUY IT. READ IT COVER TO COVER.

YOU NEED TO BUY THIS BOOK - SLEEP WITH IT UNDER YOUR PILLOW!

This is the one book I would recommend for any VB developer. I wish I had bought it earlier. I have been recently interviewing for new consulting contracts, and this book gave me the review on known material, and the introduction to new stuff that I needed to ace my technical interviews. It gives a smooth intro to object-oriented methodology and design, and will help you at any stage of your career. My friend never really got OO and wasn't using classes at all in his projects - I got him to read this book, and now he has a firm grasp on OO and his code is much easier to work with. It evens gives you a primer on UML, user controls, property bags, and some really good design methods and ideas. Stay far away from Kurata's book on objects, this is the only one you'll need!!!

Highly recommended for beginning VB OOP study!

This is a major revision of the VB5 edition of the book: Peter Wright has rewritten two chapters to clarify them, and added several more to extend the explanation of the design process and how to turn design into code, as well as delve more into inheritance under VB.These changes make this the best introductory book on Visual Basic Objects currently on the market. Wright's style is easy to read, his sense of humor apparent, and he has good grasp of his material and covers it well. The topics are appropriate for a book at this level, although, like most popular textbooks today, they are sometimes covered too simplistically (the chapter on Active X components comes to mind as does the discussion of interface inheritance). Beginning Visual Basic 6 Objects will serve as a spring board for those who want to go on to more advanced books such as Lhotka's Visual Basic 6 Business Objects. I highly recommend it for anyone wanted to learn OOP under VB.
