* Provides a good foundation for Microsoft Access and Visual Basic database programming * Offers thorough coverage of object-oriented programming, including how to create data handling classes and ActiveX controls for code reusability * Covers DAO, ADO, ASP, and SQL, and demonstrates how to take data mining to the next level

This book places great emphasis on solutions rather than technology. It provides step-by-step examples of the most important techniques developers typically go through to create database applications.

Broad coverage is given of many issues relating to professional database design and implementation using Visual Basic 6. The authors show how to use SQL to manipulate data and investigate advanced topics such as data warehousing and data mining.

Thanks to Visual Basic 6, developing complete client/server database applications is easier than ever. If you'd like to take advantage of Visual Basic 6's powerful database application development tools, we recommend you pick up a copy of Visual Basic 6 Database Programming. The book's detailed instructions, practical, real-world examples, and expert insights make it the most comprehensive guide available on Visual Basic 6. Topics covered include DAO, RDO, ADO, ODBC, and OLE DB. The bonus CD-ROM features all the code samples from the book. You also get demo and trial versions of programs such as ButtonMaker, InputPro, Calendar Widgets, VBAssist, and much more.

While previous versions of Visual Basic had some database facilities, with Visual Basic 6, Microsoft has created a robust, fully-fledged database programming language. VB6 includes a raft of highly effective database features and toolsincluding hundreds of efficiencies, step-through wizards, and shortcutsthat in most cases are extremely easy to understand and master. Among the most important of these are ADO Data Control, Data View window, Query Designer, DataRepeater Control, Data Environment Designer, ActiveX Document Migration Wizard, WebClass Designer, and Visual Data Manager. Visual Basic 6 Database Programming For Dummies is a friendly, no-nonsense guide for programmers already familiar with Visual Basic who want to take advantage of all of version 6s powerful database features. Packed with real-world examples and plain-English explanations, it cuts through the jargon and shows you, step-by-step, how to: Build professional-looking database programs Craft user-friendly interfaces and robust reports Automate programming with built-in tools Maximize Internet connectivity with ActiveX Develop ASP and IIS applications Transitions from DAO to ADO Understand how best to use all of VBs built-in database features Get the most out of VBs Data Environment Designer Know ho to use SQL Author Richard Mansfield gives you a solid understanding of what databases are, how they work, and what you can do with them. Then he walks you through all the steps to creating powerful database applications. Topics covered include: Getting connected with data controls and the Data Form Wizard Using the Data Environment Designer Designing a user interface Building a new database from scratch Translating Windows applications to Web pages using ActiveX Document Migration Wizard Combining HTML and VB to create active server pages Creating IIS applications Data access programming Using the Query Designer Have you been baffled by the alphabet soup of VB6 acronyms? Have you tried other books on the subject and found them sourly lacking in clarity? Dont despair, relax and let Visual Basic 6 Database Programming For Dummies gently ease you into the world of database programming.

Ready-to-use building blocks for integrated circuit design. Why start coding from scratch when you can work from this library of pre-tested routines, created by an HDL expert? There are plenty of introductory texts to describe the basics of Verilog, but "Verilog Designer's Library" is the only book that offers real, reusable routines that you can put to work right away. "Verilog Designer's Library" organizes Verilog routines according to functionality, making it easy to locate the material you need. Each function is described by a behavioral model to use for simulation, followed by the RTL code you'll use to synthesize the gate-level implementation. Extensive test code is included for each function, to assist you with your own verification efforts. Coverage includes: Essential Verilog coding techniques Basic building blocks of successful routines State machines and memories Practical debugging guidelines Although "Verilog Designer's Library" assumes a basic familiarity with Verilog structure and syntax, it does not require a background in programming. Beginners can work through the book in sequence to develop their skills, while experienced Verilog users can go directly to the routines they need. Hardware designers, systems analysts, VARs, OEMs, software developers, and system integrators will find it an ideal sourcebook on all aspects of Verilog development.
