Excellent - for VFP 6.0 users too

I have numerous VFP books and am firmly a VFP 6.0 user. I have found this book to be awesome for beginner to advanced. Very, very well written.I've actually found it more usable than the subsequent Que title "Using Visual FoxPro 6" - which has different authors and different approach. Que should have simply upgraded their 5.0 title.You won't be sorry with this one.bigchip@aol.com

The BEST Visual Foxpro 5 Book Ever

Simply the best book for learning Foxpro. Mr. Antonovich's style makes it easy to grasp all the new concepts that have come along with Foxpro's adoption of OOP model. Also an outstanding Foxpro and database reference.

Recommended for Programmer who new to Visual Foxpro

By the title itself 'Using...', simply means HOW to use Visual Foxpro? It is the best guide for developers who are new and for some who wanted to learn Visual Foxpro as a database development tool. For sure, the learning curve of a newbie VFP developer will be shortened when using this book.

Certainly not simple - But appears comprehensive

I am not new to XBase (FoxPro 2.6) and I was looking for something to help me make the transition. but this book doesn;'t do that. it appears comprehensive enough.. so comp[rehensive that it rattles me... I'm still looking for the right transition book John Fox
