Visual Studio 6: The Complete Reference CD

Visual Studio is one of the best kept secrets in the world of Windows development. A fully integrated development environment which provides a core into which Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual J++, FoxPro (and more) plugs, it's one of the best developer tools of it's kind--if you happen to know about it that is. If you're one of the select group who do, Osborne's Visual Studio 6: The Complete Reference may come in very handy indeed. Part of their Complete Reference series, this book maintains the high standard set by previous offerings in the series, giving the low-down on what it does, how it works and how to do it simply and correctly. Another 800+ page offering: all the major components of the package are explained and explored together with discussions of the key component technologies including COM, ActiveX, WFC, MMC, DHTML, ASP and ISAPI. Those expecting a beginners "how-to" in Java, C++, Basic et al, are going to be sorely disappointed, however, as this is a reference for the informed which explores techniques such as creating programs with code developed in multiple languages and creating ISAPI filters using C++. All in all an excellent read and highly recommended.Read More
