As 400 Client Server Programming With Visual Basic 5 0

Now you can write the kind of stand-alone applications and visual client/server interfaces you've always wanted. This new book from Visual Basic expert Chris Peters shows you how to change your green screens into powerful Visual Basic windows and give users PC access to your AS/400. If your company has VB 5.0 or Client Access/NetSoft/RUMBA for Windows95/NT, this book is for you. It presents event- driven programming and introduces object-oriented programming-the keys to Windows client/server programming-in terms you'll easily understand, so you can rapidly develop new client/server applications and convert legacy programs.

Covers object-oriented programming in Visual Basic 5, including forms, controls, data types, classes, graphics, and data controls, and also features online exams, an Internet mailing list and an online mentor to answer students' specific Visual Basic 5 questions.

Written by an expert user of Visual Basic as a design tool since the 1.1 version, this book covers all of the essential aspects of client/server development for Visual Basic 6, including security issues, the architecture of the Internet and Intranets in relation to VB6, and more. The CD-ROM includes valuable SQL statements that generate the database schemas and populate the table for Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle 7.X and 8.0 and Sybase SQL Anywhere. Cover title

The learning curve just got flatter . . . with practical, professional training in less time and with less frustration. Written for programmers, this text teaches all one needs to know to develop client/server applications with a Visual Basic front-end that gets data from an ODBC database (like SQL Server) on the back-end.

Imagine building an addition to your home with all the tools and materials you need right at hand, and, better yet, the framing already in place! That's what it's like to develop and implement powerful, effective client/server applications with the help of this book and companion diskette. Instead of simply discussing technical theories, this book provides seven working software example applications as learning tools for you to understand, use, and ultimately build upon.
