Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)John Smiley continues with the venerable Bullina China Shop program and his university class to introduce the reader to programming data bases using Visual Basic. The style of the book follows Professor Smiley's university class through the semester as they learn to use and interface data bases to Visual Basic. For me this engaging method involves me and makes learning this subject very pleasant. The information is presented in a logical progression within the framework of a standard development process as Professor Smiley's university class modifies a class project completed the previous semester for Joe Bullina, owner of the Bullina China Shop.
The book is geared for the beginner and uses DAO (Data Access Objects) methods in presenting the subject rather than the current ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) methods. So if your an experienced programmer looking for an introduction to ADO look elsewhere; however, for the novice, this book walks you through the processes necessary to bind data controls to the VB program. With this background the reader can go on to the ADO methods with a rich background that will smooth the transition to the current popular method.
The book includes a CD with all the source code and supporting files needed to develop the project chapter by chapter. Additionally, the author maintains an extensive web site where you can go for help and assistance.
In summary, I highly recommend this book to all who have an interest in getting up to speed using Visual Basic with data bases. Buy it, read it, work through the demo project, and you will have gained valuable skill.
