Doing objects in Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0

The first two parts of this book introduce object-oriented concepts and provide an in-depth description of designing an object-oriented application. This information is appropriate for all levels of Visual Basic developers. It is equally appropriate for managers, designers, technical writers, testers, and any other individuals interested in an overview of object-oriented design.

The third part of this book walks you through implementing an object-oriented application with Visual Basic. It provides detailed discussions and code examples. This part of the book assumes you are familiar with Visual Basic; that you know how to create forms and write code. If you have never used Visual Basic before, you will need to read an introductory text prior to working through this third part.
