Synopsis

The book deals with objects and object-orientated development with Visual Basic 5. It explains why object-oriented programming is so important today, and how its use can simplify the development process as a whole. To do this it drills down on Classes, ActiveX Controls, Components, Documents, OO style and what these things let you do. It leads the reader into the realm of actual development, by using a lot of real world examples, demonstrating the sort of problems that programmers come up against everyday.

About this title

Review:

Peter Wright's Beginning Objects with Visual Basic 5 shows you the ins and outs of using Visual Basic (VB) 5 with today's object-oriented programming techniques. Because it supports classes, VB can model almost any real-world problem. The author shows you how with a general tour of object-oriented programming techniques and information on how to use classes in VB 5.

The book discusses Microsoft's approach to objects using COM and ActiveX, whether through ActiveX modules or reusable controls. Besides a tool-based approach, the author also covers the basics of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and how it can be used to design objects for VB software applications using modeling tools. In all, this book can introduce the beginning VB programmer to higher-level techniques for using objects to write better and more maintainable software. --Richard Dragan

From the Publisher:

Beginning Visual Basic 5 Objects has a conversational style, and treats the reader as a human, almost as a friend. It tells them straight up what's hot and what's not and introduces them to topics that they previously thought were really tough in a quick, friendly and thorough way that's also fun. It is also written by a leading authority on VB who puts everything into the context of the real world of programming. Beginning Objects gives the reader everything they need to get started on OO development, in particular with ActiveX.
