Synopsis
Visual Basic is the leading Windows development tool with 3-4 million licenses sold.
Many VB developers face the challenge of building scalable applications using distributed COM objects in Visual Basic 6. There are many books which describe n-tier architecture and also object-oriented programming, but this book is about merging the best capabilities of the Object-Oriented (OO) approach with your system architecture. It does this with Rocky Lhotka's 'distributed object' technique.
