programming which would have us believe OOPS is something only hardcore technical people do. Author Peter Wright says otherwise. In the companion volume to Beginning Visual Basic 6, Wright takes a step-by-step look at the OOPS capabilities of VB6 using a helpful and informative array of real-world examples and code snippets to get across the ins and outs of this unique programming discipline. With commentary which includes the rudiments of OOP, ActiveX and COM interaction, Wright achieves in 500 words what many authors would take twice the space to do--and even better he does it effectively. With added material on OO design methodology and the use of design methods including UML and Microsoft's Visual Modeller this is hardly a book for the programming beginner, but for those with a little knowledge and a sprinkling of patience, Beginning VB6 Objects is a must-have for the computing bookshelf.--Chris Russell

and illustrates how to put the various components and techniques to work in real-world applications. The first chapter spells out the concepts of databases in general and then introduces the reader to the Data Control and the VB Data Form Wizard--a quick way to snap together a database interface. From there, author John Connell spends a few chapters illustrating how to code the data control and build a "bulletproof" user interface to your data.After a discussion about planning your database structure, Connell steps you through the process of building a fully functional application that uses many important VB features. The chapters include screen shots, diagrams, and code snippets, with plenty of tips and step-by-step exercises. You can download the source code for the included examples from the publisher's Web site.Once you have the preliminary education under your belt, the author presents Microsoft's Universal Data Access (UDA) architecture. He shows how to create your own data-bound ActiveX controls and use Active Server Pages (ASPs) to fetch and return database records via a Web browser. Connell finishes off this lengthy education with a brief foray into data mining and a discussion of how to export data to other applications. --Stephen Plain, Amazon.com

Advantages: Powerfull Disadvantages: None that I can think of
Learning a programming language is a challenging experience. I would recomend VisualBasic6 to anyone wanting to start in programming. I bought VB6 because it is so powerfull. You only need to type one line of code and that would be the equivelent of 10 lines in any other language. Another good point about Vb6 is that when you are typing Vb is always giving you a list of things that could come after it. You just type the first bit of the code you want and then click on a word from the drop down list. People should use this product because it saves so much time. ...
Advantages: simple, quick easy to use for novices Disadvantages: not object oriented
INTRODUCTION
Visualbasic is a simple programming language that can be used to design and program simple to complex applications for use on the Windows operating system. I have experience of visualbasic6.0 as I have used it at college and also late in projects for University work. It is a simple programming tool because it allows you to draw components onto a drawing canvas and add programming code to them. For example you could draw a text box and a button and attach code to the button that would place text in the text box.
BENEFITS OF USING THIS PROGRAMMING TOOL
It has various benefits over using this rather than other languages such as C/C++. The obvious benefit would be that it is far easier to use and learn than C or C++ as it is a 'user friendly' programming language with easy commands to use and the style of programming ...
Advantages: Excellent For Prototyping & Learning To Program Disadvantages: It Comes From Microsoft
VisualBasic6 is an excellent tool for learning how to program. It is also and excellent Rapid Application Development tool. Due to it's drag and drop program generation technology users can build complex programs without having to reference the manual. Indeed the online help system is excellent. VisualBasic now offers a form of Object Orientation meaning code can be resused for other projects. All in all a great package. You can find alot of web sites dedicated to teachng users how to program effectively in VisualBasic and indeed in the workplace VisualBasic is a very common language. ...
