Beginning VB 6 Database Programming is you first book for Wrox Press. Actually I was always involved in that programming is a big and meaningful part of my life, as is teaching. So to make the transition to actually putting some of my experience on paper and sharing with a bigger audience than just my college students came rather naturally. In retrospect, it was bound to happen.
Databases are the banks that hold the currency of information.
The way to get and store info is through DB's. I have found that even beginning programmers want to find out about databases as one of their first tasks. They think, I'll find out if VB can do this or that with a database. If yes, I'll learn the language. If no, I'll look elsewhere.
