Written by a team of VB experts from the U.K. who call themselves the Mandelbrot Set, the second edition of Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 covers topics central to effective enterprise development. Chapters on project management, debugging, and testing and coding styles can help you get control of the project life cycle in Visual Basic. Other sections provide expert advice on using business objects, databases, exception handling, and other topics that extend the reach of today's Visual Basic. Besides being written in a lively style, Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 imparts a good deal of technical knowledge you aren't likely to find anywhere else, including material on Y2K programming. --Richard Dragan/p>
Reviews From AMAZON.COM
Sorely disappointed
The title of this book should be "How TMS implements VB"If you're an Intermediate VB programmer who's looking to expand his/her skills, don't buy this book. I learnt this lesson the hard way. This book is not really an Advanced book. Its really a super-advanced book with many special and arcane topics. There is good technical info at times but it is few and far in between. The book rambles along aimlessly. There is little explanation as to how one topic relates to another. The authors are knowledgable in their fields but extremely conceited. They also try to be witty all the time. Gets tedious after a while. There are too few examples and too much prose.
Beyond advanced
More of a 'Special Topics' book. Don't expect to run through an introductory book and right into this one. Though the first chapter has some useful suggestions for handling bugs.
