Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Visual Studio is one of the best kept secrets in the world of Windows development. A fully integrated development environment which provides a core into which Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual J++, FoxPro (and more) plugs, it's one of the best developer tools of it's kind--if you happen to know about it that is.
If you're one of the select group who do, Osborne's Visual Studio 6: The Complete Reference may come in very handy indeed.
Part of their Complete Reference series, this book maintains the high standard set by previous offerings in the series, giving the low-down on what it does, how it works and how to do it simply and correctly.
Another 800+ page offering: all the major components of the package are explained and explored together with discussions of the key component technologies including COM, ActiveX, WFC, MMC, DHTML, ASP and ISAPI.
Those expecting a beginners "how-to" in Java, C++, Basic et al, are going to be sorely disappointed, however, as this is a reference for the informed which explores techniques such as creating programs with code developed in multiple languages and creating ISAPI filters using C++. All in all an excellent read and highly recommended.

I have seldomly seen a book, which seems to be so good but is so bad... It's well made up, the author claiming to be the! expert on computer books and tutorials. When you look into it, it does not live up to any claim it makes. It tells you about the simplest things like how to use a toolbar or dialogbox, but tells little what the box is for. E.g. it tells how to get to some functions of Visual SourceSafe (all of them very easy to find out yourself) but gives no introduction what SourceSafe is needed for and how you use it properly. This might be a way to teach a secretary Word but not a programmer (who probably knows Computers) Visual Studio. I found the whole experience a waste of time and money.

"Visual Studio is one of the best kept secrets in the world of Windows development."
Total rubbish, Visual Studio IS Windows Development. This book gives a good overview but lacks the real depth I require for a book on THE Computer Software Product of all time.
Format:CD-ROM
Poor value, expensive and heavy, I can't see what this book does exactely.
I was looking for a quick introduction to the components of Visual Studio (VB, visual C++, Visual J++, etc.) and a reference manual to see which functions are available and how to use them. I saw the title and thought "complete reference" means a reference manual that gives all the entries for the topic covered...
... not quite! The introduction takes 800 pages, discoursing various sample projects, but there are no references. No list of objects, no list of functions, nothing. If the functionality you need to deliver is NOT that of the examples, you could be - like I am now - all lined up for another purchase.
In my honest opinion, this cannot be a "complete" reference, not even the "beginning of a reference" to the development tool.
2 crows for a good writing style and user-friendly progressing through the examples.
