1. I found this book to be exactly what I was looking for. It gives a beginner a very good understanding of xbase programming but at a proper gradient so you aren't overwhelmed. There are exercises and examples throughout the book so the user can get used to and get comfortable with the language and see the results. An excellent book that I will continue to use as a reference book for a long time.

1. I have used this book, Clipper 5.2 and Clipper 5.3 for the past three years to write auction programs to CPA client tracking to Video store software. Its value is incalculable. It is organized, clear, informative, and cannot be beat.



2. im one of the user of the book version 5.2 & 5.3 which help me in programming endeavor using clipper. ill like the books the way that they illustrate function/s and how function could do a task. likewise the theory part of the books which gives views to the user/s or readers how important in designing a realiable system

1. This is one Clipper book that every beginner should have. It assumes you don't know how to program in Clipper and takes you through all the basic components: scope/lifetime rules, UDFs, user defined commands, memo fields, TBrowse, file functions and more. I particularly liked all the examples found in the book. You can even buy a companion disk from the author's company to assist in understanding. I have successfully used this book for a class I taught to Clipper programming beginners

1. Well...since I am the main author, I guess I'm a little biased. :-)

   My goal when we wrote the book was to write the "K&R" for the Clipper language. Of course, few people are developing for DOS today, but it you are and you want to know the intimate details of how the Clipper language works, consider picking up a copy.

   If you have a question for me (though I can't remember much about Clipper today since I've not used for over 6 years), feel free to email me at mikeschinkel@hotmail.com.




2. I used to do a lot of Clipper programming in the late 80s and early 90s, and I have a LOT of Clipper books in my library. This book was always my favorite of them all. Mike was much more to the point than the ever present Stephen Straley, whose books got more and more bloated for every new one he wrote.

   In fact, though it has been several years since I read it, it has always stood out in my mind as one of the best computer books I have read, and it was always the one I kept returning to when I needed help in my programming.




3. I am the primary co-author of this book, and don't know why I'm no longer listed as an author for it. But anyway, I still hear from people that our book is the best book they ever had for comprehensive Clipper programming, and that it was also a great introduction for them to OOP.
