Summary: Excellent reference for a myriad of key topics.
Comment: "Developer's Workshop" is an excellent reference that belongs on every Visual Basic programmers' bookshelf. It is a collection of key Visual Basic programming topics. You will enjoy your initial skim through it. I will be surprised if you don't find at least a half-dozen tips you never thought about before. It was hard to decide which topic in the table of contents to browse first. At the risk of sounding like a nerd, it was a fun read. You will pick it up frequently when you ask yourself "How do I ...?" -- the theme of this book. "Developer's Workshop" does an excellent job of pointing out how to use features properly and professionally, and explains what to watch out for to avoid future problems.
This book has no VB tutorial, and it has no in-depth topics (e.g., on object-oriented programming, etc.).
"Developer's Workshop" is as organized as a collection of "How Do I ...?" topics can reasonably be. The topical discussions are concise and complete with examples.
For C++ programmers, this book is similar in coverage to Plum/Saks' "C++ Programming Guidelines" and Meyers' "Effective C++" (though less detailed in its explanations of each topic).

Summary: A superior reference & guide for the Visual Basic Expert
Comment: This book is a 'must have' for the exprienced Visual Basic programmer who is moving from Visual Basic version 3 or 4 into the new world of VB 5. It is also a requirement for the tool chest of the experienced VB 5 programmer.
The book contains an excellent organization of the Visual Basic technologies offered in Microsoft's latest version of this tool . The discussion is filled with practical examples and sample code (on the included CD). The relatively new subjects of Objects, ActiveX, Internet Features (including Installing over the Internet), Native Code Compiling, Creating DLLs., and other subjects are discussed and illustrated in great detail. Discussions and examples of more standard VB functions are also given, but in much less detail.
The examples are unique and useful and the "Dear John, How Do I..." style of question and answer presents useful information in a clear way.
This book is not for learning Visual Basic; let the novice beware! Even for subjects such as the Object-Oriented discussion, there are better descriptive books. But if you have passed this point, this book is filled with practical information about how to apply this technology using Visual Basic 5
Rating: 4
Summary: Good book to establish VB knowledge
Comment: When I started to move to a VB 5 project, I asked three people for book recommendation. This is the only one they all memtioned.
I got this book to work on the project and igave me very good help to develop my programming skills. It has enough topics (perhaps not allof the important topics) for people doesn't have much experience with Vb and want to have some example and smaple codes as reference. When you have more experience, this may not be the book as good as before, but still very nice to keep it in hand for those topics you want to refresh or never touched before.
