5.0 out of 5 stars Must buy for J++ solution developers, 31 Aug 1999

By A Customer

Java SDK purist, stay away from this book. Also if you don't know Java or C++ syntax, stay away This book isn't for the beginner J++ developer. The points in this workshop touch on J++ NOT Java. This book will focus on the WFC,ODBC db, and COM. All MS staples. Don't expect to get anything pertaining to Java SDK in this. I found the examples helpful, especially the COM example. The simpliest implementation I've ever seen.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good book on J++ 6.0, 27 May 1999

By A Customer

If you are looking for a book on J++ 6.0, this book is hard to beat. It covers all the bread-and-butter topics that are required in order to write fully functional applications that are typically used in corporations.

Of course, it is very Microsoft-centric, but then so is J++.

On the downside, it did not cover a topic that I had hoped it would. I saw no information concerning writing custom controls (complete with custom property editors, events, etc) that are then added to the toolbox for use as standard controls in my other WFC applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amendment to my previous review, 23 Feb 1999

By A Customer

Previously I rated this book as a 4 instead of a 5 due to what I incorrectly perceived as a lack of coverage of database programming techniques. Upon re-reading Chapter 10, which contains an in-depth ado example, I now believe that this book deserves a rating of 5. In other words, this book contains many useful examples, including non-databound-control database programming examples.
