Visual Basic 6 Database Programming for Dummies

Seriously if you want to start building a database in minutes, a good one, this is the book.Got it 2 days ago and am really covering a lot in the book.Very easy to understand and am building my own database right now.Whoever wrote this book I say thanks.

I found this book very useful on my VB projects for school but It could be better. So, if you are new to Database programming this is a good starting point.

I've been programming for several years. Did most of my work in MS Access, and Quick Basic before that. Access had spoiled me as far as writing small client/server programs. I was looking for something to introduce me into the world of Database Programming in VB. This book, surprisingly, does a pretty good job. I was looking for something to get me started with ADO as well as some of the newer VB technologies, such as WebClasses - a subject I knew nothing about. The book did a fairly good job. It doesn't go in depth into any of the subjects, but gives you enough to wet your appetite, which is what I hoped out of it. If you're looking for something to introduce you to the world of database programming using VB, this may be the one you want. Let's face it - compared to other programming books, you can't beat the price.

This book was very helpful and informative. It clearly explains RDO, DAO, and ADO technologies. There are lots of good examples for everything, and I didn't find any errors in the code either. This book covered a lot of territory in just 350 pages. It can't teach you everything, but it does introduce you to the 'world of database programming in Visual Basic 6.' I would recommend this book to both the novice and experienced programmer. I have 7 years experience in everything from Mainframe to client/server, and I learned a lot. I am fairly new to VB, though.RGG
