Visual Basic 6 is the new release of the Microsoft's leading windows
programming tool. There are over 3.2 million current users of Visual
Basic in the world, ranging from novices to programming to experienced
developers. Visual Basic 5 sold over 1m copies in 1997, an increase of
over 40% over the previous year's sales. This is a large category that
is on an exponential growth curve. Microsoft estimate that 70% of all
development that is done with VB is database related. It's the leading
tool for developing all database front ends, both to new applications,
and to legacy systems.
Beginning Visual Basic 6 Database Programming
is out concurrently with the new release of VB6, it uses the same
winning tutorial format as Beginning VB covering everything from
database design, to SQL to client server all at a fast pace. There are
practical hands on examples that are usable right from the book and it
uses DAO to explain the basics of database programming in lucid
tutorial format. Added to all this is the fact that it also covers new
ADO technology in depth.
