Worth Every Penny!

I am new to Visual Basic and when I went looking for a book on classes, a senior programmer recommended this book and lent me his copy. Realizing how valuable this book is, I quickly ordered my own copy! The book is logically organized, first providing a discussion on the concepts involved in object oriented programming, and then working into detailed discussions on classes, ActiveX Servers, etc. I highly recommend this book to programmers and analysts alike!

I understood objects - now I can implement them

Our company chose this book for our in-house course on OOP. I borrowed it from a person who took the course. I had been struggling with classes and objects for a while, knowing all the theory and that I could really use them to make my programming life easier. Deborah shows the how and why of implementing classes and objects in VB5. I can now move on to using them and making life a little - no, a LOT - easier.

I tried to rate it a 20, but Amazon woudn't let me...

If you're an experienced programmer or systems analyst, trying to understand object orientated programing and design with VB 5.0, then this is the book you're looking for. Very well done. This review is coming from a guy with 22 years programming/analysis experience.

An OSCAR winner

The best and most consice technical book I've seen in the past 10 years. A programmers treasure box for all levels of experience, a must have for all. Deborah, thanks for bringing out your knowledge to those of us who can learn from it. Keep up the good work.

Just Plain Fantastic.

Ms. Kurata is probably the best technical author I have ever encountered. She has taken a devilishly complex topic, and explained it in a way that even inexperienced programmers can absorb (but, without compromising the depth or details of the concepts). The first half of the book dwells on general development topics, but the second half is golden! I wish she would write more books...
