Tamar E. Granor and Ted Roche
ISBN 0-201-48379-3, book/disk, 848 pages
"Tamar and Ted...provide clear and concise explanations of subjects such as
SQL, the new event model, and parameterized views. I especially appreciate the
real-life examples of why to use a feature in a particular way. They truly aid
understanding...This book will be a valuable resource to Visual FoxPro®
users."
--From the Foreword by Susan Graham, Visual FoxPro Program Manager
"An impressive collection of nuts-and-bolts information and useful recommendations. Of particular value is the significant amount of largely undocumented behaviors every FoxPro developer needs to know."
-- Drew Speedie, MaxTech, Inc.
Are you serious about working in Visual FoxPro? Do you want to really put
FoxPro through its paces, but find yourself frustrated by commands that don't
work the way you expect or documentation that seems incomplete? Would you
rather fight with this exceptional program than switch? If so, the
Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 3.0 is for you.
Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 3.0 is the definitive reference to how
all the commands, functions, properties, events, and methods in Visual FoxPro
3.0 really work. FoxPro experts Tamar Granor and Ted Roche show you
which commands to use, which to avoid, and which ones don't work quite the
way the manual says they do. You'll learn about common and not-so-common bugs
and how to work around them, plus you get an introduction to OOP, SQL, and
Client/Server, as well as productivity hints, tips for creating your own
Builders and Wizards, and advanced coverage of OLE and OLE Automation. If
you want to make your FoxPro programs scream (and not vice versa) then the
Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro is for you.
Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 3.0 comes with a bonus disk that
includes examples from the book, shareware and freeware FoxPro tools, and cool
subclasses that you can use in your own programs.
