Title: ADO Examples and Best Practices by William R. Vaughn ISBN: 189311516X Publisher: APress Pub. Date: May, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.2
Rating: 3
Summary: Not for Beginners
Comment: This is a good book for advanced users of ADO, however if you just started using ADO and want a good background and solid knowledge base of the subject this is not the book to get. The book has most of its examples in VB. I was looking for some ASP examples and it definetly lacks good ASP support. I would suggest getting WROX's ADO 2.5 book if you're starting out using ADO.

Summary: A Book for the VB Professional - Buy It, Read It.
Comment: If you're looking for an ADO Reference, buy a different book. If you develop and maintain VB Database Applications w/ SQL Server back-ends, do yourself a favor and GET THIS BOOK!!
Does your clients applications run fine on one computer, and behave weird on another all of a sudden? Read this book to confirm what you have been thinking and learn proven ways to get around the "side-effects" (Bugs!) in ADO, and the 'migration' issues between ADO 2.0, 2.1, 2.1 (GA), and 2.5.
It's a pleasure to read a book written by someone who has obviously been in the ADO trenches. Vaughn does not pull his punches, so you will get the straight scoop on how ADO really behaves - not how it's supposed to behave as with the typical ADO Reference Book.
Enjoy!! -Rob

Summary: The perfect book for VB and ASP refinement
Comment: I've been developing ASP solutions for nearly five years and pure Visual Basic applications for two, and have never read a book with such valuable, pithy information in so little text.
In ~350 pages, Vaughn covers all of the pertinent topics when working with ADO: "best case" connection strings, efficient uses of recordsets, marshaling and persisting data... literally, everything you really need to know.
Most importantly, and to his credit, Vaughn does NOT cover (or re-hash) the basics of ADO or data access- this book is for developers seeking to refine their ADO knowledge, not first-time database programmers. You won't find an explanation of what an RDBMS is, or why databases are valuable in the enterprise. You will find a reference to keep on your desk (not your bookshelf) and use every day.
