If you really need to understand Object Orientation and how it is applied in Visual FoxPro, this is your book! Even though I have been using VFP 5 and BVFP 6 for a couple of years now, I still learned a lot from this book.

As Mac Rubel says: Until now you could buy good FP books and good OOP books but you couldn't buy a good VFP OOP book.

I highly recommend it!

This book begins with the basics that every programmer should know. A must have for any professional VFP and OOP developer.

Overall pretty good book, I pretty much read it cover-to-cover over a two day period. However, my expectations were a bit high after reading all the other reviews on this site. First of all, his description of the Component Gallery totally lost me. More importantly, from chapter 12 on, the author elects to assume that everyone has access to a ... piece of software called Rational Rose to design an OOP app. This disappointed me, I would have preferred to have things explained in a way that I could follow along with the tools I have as a VFP developer.
