Customer Reviews

Great book Lots of concepts still applies to Visual FoxPro 8

I have this book. It's on my desktop on the time. Lots of concepts still applies to Visual FoxPro 8. Every VFP programmer should have it. I doubt Microsoft Press will release a Programmer's Guide for Visual FoxPro 8. Use this book to look up techniques, etc. Not to read cover to cover. You use it once, it pays off.

An important Foxpro Manual

This is not a book for beginners. It is intermediate to advance level detailing how to perform specific programming tasks, often with examples. In this regard, it is indespensible. I frequently use it to solve specific programming problems, such as "How do I use ActiveX with Foxpro?" It will give you the specific technique to use. However, if you are new to Foxpro, start with something else.

bad

Probably the worse code books ever written. It lacks sample codes and detailed explaination of how and why.

Easy to read, deep, concise explanation of VFP 6

I like Microsoft's "Programmers Guides". This one is no exception. As a VB programmer, I found this Fox Pro book extremely well written. It was concise and you could feel the depth of what it was explaining. No beating around the bush... and lots of meat included.Also, the price is right.It's not a book filled with code samples... although it does have code samples. It is more of a "here's how and why this happens"... or "here's concisely how to do do this."This is obviously a book to be read and re-read several times.
