Visual Basic 6.0 Professional

Visual Basic 6.0 Professional

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is the single fastest way to develop applications for any of the modern Microsoft Windows environments. This is the world's best-known Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment, quite stable at this point in its long career. By making extensive use of drag-and-drop component assembly, boilerplate wizards, form-based graphical user interface (GUI) design, and dozens of less obvious labour-saving features, this Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is almost certainly the fastest way to get your custom Windows software off the design team's whiteboard and into operation.

True, you can use C++ to write programs that execute faster. You can use Visual J++ or a Java IDE if you like that style of object-oriented programming. But there's little debate that Visual Basic offers the best balance of feature richness, ease of use, and performance. Furthermore, if you have a bit of familiarity with fundamental programming concepts, you'll find that Visual Basic has a relatively flat learning curve. It rewards experimentation, and plenty of fine documentation exists.

Visual Basic supports all of Microsoft's solutions for database access, distributed computing, componentised software, and half a dozen other major software applications. You can use Visual Basic to write Component Object Model (COM) objects, ActiveX Controls, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) for database access, and WebClasses to provide customised responses to events that occur during Web sessions. The Professional Edition supplements the standard Visual Basic features with visual tools for creating database schema on Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. The Professional Edition also integrates with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe and the rest of Microsoft's tools for development of software by teams. --David Wall

Manufacturer's Description
As Microsoft releases the sixth version of its award-winning development tool, more than 50 percent of all professional developers are using the Visual Basic language. Visual Basic 6.0 is the most productive tool for creating high-performance enterprise and Web-based applications. Integrated Visual Database Tools and a RAD environment promote productivity while native code compilation provides fast applications.Use the Visual Basic 6.0 integrated Visual Database Tools and Data Environment Designer to visually design Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases and create reusable data access queries - all without leaving the Visual Basic environment. Build server-side Web applications that are easily accessible from any browser on any platform with Visual Basic 6.0 WebClasses. Program highly interactive Web pages as easily as a Visual Basic form with the Dynamic HTML Page Designer. Quickly develop rich data forms, or use the integrated Report Writer to develop sophisticated, hierarchical reports, all with drag-and-drop ease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Building Windows orientated programs couldn't be more fun!, 8 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I purchased this programming tool a few months ago and before then, programming was like trying to work out 768.9 x Pi in my head. As I have gained the flavour of programming, I can now build Windows orientated programmes with confidence. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a rookie, compiling your completed programs could not be easier. With this high performance-programming tool, you can compile your programs in either P-code or native code. I was also impressed with the debugging tool. It gives you the most obvious clues on how to fix those little faults with your code. I have to admit that this piece of programming software well exceeded my expectations. The more you use this tool, the better you will become. This is because experimenting with this programming language is challenging and fun. Once you have created your first program, it will be very rewarding. I recommend that you take the plunge and be one of thousands of programmers to use probably the world's most powerful programming language, Visual Basic 6.0.

5.0 out of 5 stars The way forward for writing great software, 5 Nov 2000
As a beginner programmer I wanted a professional tool that would enablr me to write high quality software for the Windows market. I looked at Borlands products but due to the languages they use (by the way they are very good) I decided on a tool that was easy to start to learn but would allow me to create more complex projects as I learnt more. Visual Basic Professional 6 arrived and I was amazed at the amount of support I received. The MSDN library is an excellent source of helpfiles and the Windows 2000 development rediness kit is certainly well timed. Since using this most excellent product I hae in a few short months started to create really stunning professional applications. What particulary appealed to me was the visual side of things which goes very well with being an artist. I have since bought some Visual Basic books from Amazon (Pure Visual Basic) to go beyond my ever increasing knowledge of this language. I must admit that I was hesitant a first of buying this product because of the cost but after considering this against the possible commercial applications and skills I would learn I decided to take the plunge. I'm glad I did. Visual Basic is not a 'toy' but a powerful language that can create many different applications from a simple game to a highly complex multi form relational database. I have considered looking at Visual C++ from Microsoft and some of Borlands products but have found nothing yet that Visual Basic professional cannot handle.
