Serious ADO : Universal Data Access with Visual Basic

ADO is Microsoft's new flagship database handler - it is a "universal" method for accessing databases whether through Microsoft's SQL Server or through databases from other companies such as Oracle, Sybase and IBM.

Visual Basic is, of course, the most popular programming language in the world today.There are a number of books already available that cover ADO and VB, but few are truly written for developers of both two-tier and n-tier enterprise-class applications, and written by a consultant actively involved in enterprise development using VB and ADO.

Serious ADO is exactly such a book. For VB developers, 2000 will be the year in which they make the journey from being front-end programmers to fully rounded distributed systems developers.

Serious ADO is the only VB/ADO book that will give them the tools they need.About the author:Rob Macdonald is an independent software expert specializing in enterprise system design and data access using Windows, COM(+), ADO and MTS.

Having spent nine years running a thriving software house, he now works directly with developers as a designer, mentor and trainer.
