Product Description

Product Description

Deborah Kurata's Doing Object in Visual Basic 6 provides a foundation for object-oriented design (OOD) by describing fundamental concepts and features of Visual Basic that support these concepts. For each design, this guide takes you step-by-step through a case study. Doings Objects in Visual Basic 6 shows you how to build ActiveX EXEs, ActiveX DLLs and ActiveX controls, how to create database objects using the universal data access strategy, OLE DB, and ADO. It details how to use the new Data View window, the new Data Environment designer, access a database using ADO, the new CallByName function, build data-aware classes, and use the new data binding features. Also find how to create three-tiered, object-oriented database applications using these new technologies and pull all that you've learned together into a functioning application.

2.0 out of 5 stars For Professionals ???? Umm... I don't think so, 21 Mar 1999
By A Customer
The back of this book claims this is written for the 'Profession' level. I disagree, although I don't know who this is really intended for - newbies to OOA&D, maybe.

I have a basic understanding of OO principles and have been programming with VB for three years. Besides the chapter on interfaces, inheritance and polymorphism there was nothing really new for me here and anything that was new was covered in such brevity as to be completely worthless (DHTML, ActiveX controls). Anything slightly technical was brushed off. In fact, it seemed most of the VB portions of this book was spent asking readers to read other books/articles to get the real facts (a thorough bibliography is a good thing but don't rely on it as the basis for your entire book).

Warning!!! - The first half of this book is about OOA&D (the GUIDS methodology) and has hardly any reference to VB. The GUIDS methodology would only be useful to someone who is completely new to OO concepts. In other words there is nothing new here.

I think this could be a better book if the VB portion of the book was expanded and GUIDS methodology portion was removed completely (maybe put it into its own book).

One final thing I found particularly offensive was the front cover which listed topics that were to be covered in the book. The majority of these topics were barely covered in any kind of depth (e.g. DHTML, IIS applications, 3-tiered components)- false advertising in my book.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you have already seen OOP, this book is a waste of time, 12 May 1999
By A Customer
I was expecting this book to provide a good introduction to implementing OO concepts in VB. Instead, it introduces a weak proprietary methodology (GUIDS) in software design, and follows that up with some terribly pedantic code. It's clear that the author has not kept up-to-date with developments in OO analysis and design--all of the references are at least five years old.

All of the important information in Kurata's book is covered in one chapter of Deitel's _VB6: How To Program_--a much more straightforward and "no nonsense" way to learn this material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book however techique not suit enterprise development, 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Extentsive use of property procedures rather than use of functions in a stateless enviroment running under MTS make this book limited in value to the enterprise developer.
