3 comments about VB6 Programming Starter Kit.

1. i have been programing in vb for about 3 years now and i bought this book and found it very useful. I was taught alot although i did skip a lesson here and there. This book looked at all aspects of programing and basicly everything you will need for your projects. I then passed this book onto my friend who has no programing experince at all. In a few weeks he was programing almost as good as me. So i like to recomend this to all levels of the programing scene.



2. I was disappointed that the descriptions and reviews of this product did not point out that the software cannot compile (a feature of VB) and is missing some other features so that an upgrade to VB is necessary to gain all features use. Otherwise, the book and software are good to get down VB basics.



3. This package lack's two main features. It does not contain any help files and it does not compile. If I knew that it didn't contain help I would have never bought it. The package includes a basic introductory book which is not bad. Another book is included on the cd rom( this book is actually a more substantial one).
   If you have windows Xp I would strongly recommend to buy the vb.net standard.

3 comments about Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition English - 1 Processor License.

1. This is a great product - but I think it retails for $2,000 not $20,000



2. The price is correct. It's not $2000. Note, it's a processor license, not a server license.



3. The cost of the processor license MSRP is $20,000.00 and it not only covers the processor, but also the computer the processor is in. You need one for each processor in the computer, and instead of using server license's, processor license's give you unlimited User and Device CAL's I have a Quad Xeon with 4 processor license's and I can connect an unlimmited number of user's or devices http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/faq.mspx
   It's the way to go !

1 comments about Power C: The High-Performance C Compiler.

1. The Power C product is one of the wonders of the world. The product consists of a well written book and a diskette containing a working C Compiler that works in a Dos environment. For someone trying to learn the C programming language, it is an inexpensive software package and tutorial book. Unlike many compiler books, this one is stuffed full of working example code demonstrating the use of the library routines. Back when I used to sell a Dos compatible operating system, I used to bundle each copy of my software with this book and Disk. The book and disk sells new from Mix Software for about $19 plus tax and shipping so the prices here for used copies are even better. This product is a great deal for a student or hobbyist.

2 comments about Borland JBuilder 4.0 Foundation.

1. Besides it is a very lightweighted Java IDE (it runs and compiles really fast), it also comes with a lot of nice features; the debugger is superb, since it is compliant with JPDA architecture it makes you able to debug remotely...even along high-end application servers (p.e. WebLogic). User interface is also intuitive and very customizable since allows you to define your own JDK configurations and running schemes which is a vital requirement for the professional developer. One of the things I am most impressed of, is about the fact of the setup bundle is available for three different platforms: Solaris, Linux and WindowsNT/2000...in all of them it just works smoooothly :) and even you projects can be shared and imported between all of them.

   Yeah! it is good




2. This is good software, but it expires too soon to be useful to a college student. I have two weeks in the semester left, now I have to use notepad and compile in jdk 1.3 because the Enterprise trial version expired before the semester was over.

   Why can't companies like Borland offer free trial versions of their software that will work through the entire semester for college students? A semester is not 60 days long, it's longer. Companies could ship the software with textbooks and it would be free advertising. As soon as the student gets a good programming job and can afford the real software, they'll buy it.

1 comments about Delphi for Php 2007 - Box/cd.

1. I am not too keen to IDEs writing my code. They often lead to sloppy code that lead to very generic-looking applications. But sometimes they are helpful to do quick & dirty jobs fast. The big problem with this package is a lack of documentation. The 67 page Users' Guide is so insufficient that it only explains how to use on two of the many components the package offers. Even then it does not explain the use of these components well enough for me to use them. If CodeGear expects this product to be useful they need to write an in-depth tutorial and not expect other people to try to figure out the software and write tutorials for CodeGear as has been done for Delphi and JBuilder. The product has been on the market for a short while now and nobody has written a tutorial.

5 comments about FileMaker Pro 8.5 Win/Mac.

1. i've been using this fmp for a few months now. i was able to get the general gist of how to use it but personally found taking a class really helped my understanding. the program can do so many things! well worth the money.
   
   however... one of the books i read on the program "FileMaker Pro Design & Scripting for Dummies" stated, "FileMaker provides full, multiuser support for up to five users without requiring the user to add any additional licenses or patches." that statement is misleading. i understood that statement to mean one license would allow five user. not true! as long as each computer attempting to view the same file has a unique license number, five users can access the same file at the same time. if more than five users at a time are going to be using the file, you'll need to buy filemaker server.



2. I paid the company almost $200 for a downloadable upgrade to version 8.5. When I downloaded it, the disk image file downloaded fine and opened into a nice CD icon. But after that, bupkus. Double clicking did NOT launch an installer, just a windoow of the file contents. Double clicking the (supposed) application file did nothing but launch an incomprehensible script window of some sort. Tried to change the file name to add a .pkg or .app extension, but no dice, locked and can't change it. Even went so far as to use disk utility to make a new .dmg image from the mounted cd-icon, made it read-write, then changed the file name, still no installation. Then tried to submit an e-mail help request using their web page, got all the way thru the e-mail, then got a message saying sorry we only do phone support for this. Phone support of course is only during "business" hours. I used to think the product was good, but their customer support STINKS.



3. I never received my product nor receive any response to my e-mails to Reduction Mart. I hope that Amazon will reimburse me in some way.



4. Can't really review it because AAA Liquidators never sent it to me. Nor did they send it to nearly 100 other people they ripped off.



5. We have stretched the power of this program to the limit and we have been able to produce the most amazing databases. This is basically THE program to have if you want a great database. We run it on a Mac and it is fantastic.
