Impressive, descriptive, a must for enterprise development

UML is one of those area that VB developers usually do not know. As a result, there is not that many books that are available compared to a subjet like XML (Wrox have 2 books with UML, while they have 10 books with XML in their title, not including the ones that talks about it).Unfortunately (or is it?), UML is one of those knowledge that are simply a requirement to any enterprise development with good time to market and much better documentation and knowledge of an application. VB came to market as an easy tool and it is still like this. With time (and versions), VB is now capable of doing good scalable enterprise architecture but it also lacks the enterprise developers that the C area got.This book will help change the tide in VB favor. First of all, this is UML book to learn from scratch what UML can provide and why is it important to use UML to have a successful application. Then, it will bring the UML to the VB world and see how UML will help the VB architect and developers in order to obtain that success.Technically talking, the author brought case-studies with the book as well as a good technical background. This is a go-get book.

Great book for the VB developer

The development cycle starts with UML and this is a great book for helping to understand the UML process as it relates to VB. There are lots of books for C++, but few for VB and was happy to have one.

Required reading for VB programmers

OK, while some sections are difficult to read due to poor editing, this book is the only one on the market that will show you how to turn the user's ideas for a project into an actual physical design. The ideas in this book are sound. It may take some time to understand the code sample, but it is the best DNA code sample out there. Well worth the effort.

A VB book that all serious VB developers must have

This book opens up a new standard for developing Visual Basic applications. For those who have searched for a clear, simple coherent way for successfully building Visual Applications, this book is for you. This book shows you how to properly design your applications using UML. There is an excellent code sample that will show you how to use the Microsoft alphabet soup, i.e. ADO, RDS, MTS, etc. It is also one of the few books that understands that DNA is not just building internet applications. DNA is a style of programming based on internet programming techniques, which can include a VB exe program like the example in the book. Excellent book!

Outstanding. Anyone who wants to do seriious vb needs this

This book is a breath of fresh air in the world of VB. There are countless books telling you how to do various VB techniques, but this book introduces the VB programmer to serious project management and design utilizing Universal Modeling Language. This book is a must have for the experienced VB programmer that wants to start doing professional software engineering and design. It also takes you through a real world 3 tier app using ADO, RDS, and other techniques. I give this book an unequivical 5 star rating. (That means go get it right now!!)
