Required Reading for Visual FoxPro Developers, Jun 3 1999
By Randy Pearson (randyp@cycla.com) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Advanced Object Oriented Programming with Visual FoxPro 6.0 (Paperback)
This is a landmark book that attempts to fully explain the object-oriented concepts and tools that are part of Visual FoxPro (VFP) development. If all VFP developers simply understood all of the concepts presented in Chapters 1 ("Basic Concepts") and 2 ("How Things are Done in Visual FoxPro"), they would be much better off. And there are 15 more chapters that follow.This book in not about source code. You won't want to read it while sitting at your computer. Rather, it is filled with principles and wisdom about some of the core aspects of adopting a high-quality development approach. The only real hands-on sections describe advanced uses of the Class Browser and its new companion, the Component Gallery. The final section of the book includes a good introduction to object modeling, requirements analysis, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
The book is written from the ground up for version 6 of VFP, so it fully integrates the latest object technology in the product. I also found a consistent high quality to the editing with very few errors noted for a book of this type, which speaks well for the efforts of both the author and Malcolm Rubel, the Technical Editor.
With this book, Markus Egger has undertaken a very difficult task and done it successfully.

A Book for Power Developers using VFP's powerful OOP..., Oct 9 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Advanced Object Oriented Programming with Visual FoxPro 6.0 (Paperback)
In order to benefit the Power of VFP, a developer should understand the power of OOP in software development. This book tells and guides you how OOP is applied in application development using VFP. The explanation of OOP tells it loud and clear that Object Orientation is very important aspect in today's software development. Markus and his associates really deserves commendation of doing it well.

Required reference book for all Visual FoxPro 6.0 developers, May 26 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Advanced Object Oriented Programming with Visual FoxPro 6.0 (Paperback)
For those working with Visual FoxPro 6.0 and use the Class Browser, Component Gallery, FFC, and OOP in general will find this complete tutorial and reference guide on these subjects is required reading material. With details, descriptions, and examples, Markus goes far beyond the Visual FoxPro documentation on these specific subjects and more. Developers should not hesitate to read this excellent VFP book.
