 Rating:  - A waste of time. I'm glad it's out of print ...... and hope it will never see the light of day again. This is one of the worst books on programming that I've ever read. The examples are terrible, and most of them don't work. Too bad that there is no zero star catagory. This book appears to be some class notes slapped together to cash in on the client/server "dot com" boom of the ninties. If you see it in a used book bin for a dollar, don't waste your money.

This book is not recommended for new c/s developer. Rating: - It is a good book for VB6.It is a good book for VB6. But the CD that came with my book is Visual Basic 6 Object Oriented Programming!. Rating:  - The most frustrating programming book I've ever readYikes! You browse through the first few pages on this book, and your interest is built up, because it pretends to be a comprehensive, state of the art review on the status of VB 6 as a development technology. It reads like it. You keep on reading, and the writing style throws you off completely. A topic is usually not developed well enough before the authors jump to the next one, and then the next, and sometimes back to the original one... it is pretty much like watching someone with ADHD browsing ...
