Reader Reviews
The book hits the sweet spot in terms of depth and detail. While there are indeed references to Visual FoxPro, there aren't that many direct syntax comparisons so you won't feel left out if you're not an active VFP programmer. The book would be useful to any database programmer or anyone who has worked with an OOP language who also wants to work in .NET. The nice thing about the book is that he can assume that a VFP programmer who has worked with any VFP since 3.0 has a grasp of object-orientation, and so he doesn't need to spend a dozen pages explaining all the basics of OOP. Likewise, a VFP programmer has a solid basis of database fundamentals, so they don't need to be reiterated in the book. He walks through in sequence.... a three tier windows form app, using business objects, then uses ASP.NET to get it on the web....then turns it into a web service with a side trip to XML along the way. And he gives the code in both C# and VB. The book is available in electronic format as well as a paperback.
