by Susan Hussey Bush

Step-by-step tutorial for learning to create desktop* database applications. No previous experience or programming knowledge necessary. Available in Hard Copy, Book on CD and Electronic Download Edition.

This latest release of Susan Bush’s easy-to-follow tutorial guides you from the initial development of a database through designing field rules, sets, mapped tables, forms and reports. It then continues with creating buttons and hyperlinks, using operations to manipulate your data without programming and adding images to your database. You’ll learn how to find, sort and filter records and create checkboxes and radio buttons, list boxes and tree controls.

Add all of that to super controls that add sophisiticated features like alphabet button and drop down browse searches, calendars, clocks and sliders that navigate records; connect your data to Google, Yahoo, MSN or create your own Internet template.

And there's lots more! It's all in the book!

  • The step-by-step instructions provide a hands-on learning experience. You will use the included databases to work your way through each section.

Alpha Five uses .dbf files, but suppose you have an SQL or other database type? No problem. There are two ways to connect to your data, actively or passively. Active tables create a live connection to the data; Passive tables produce a quick snapshot than can be refreshed at any time. It’s all in the book!

Ready to switch over from Alpha Four to Alpha Five, but not sure how? Frances Peake tells you how in the special chapter on making the transition. It’s all in the book!

 
Non-programmers: No previous experience with databases is necessary. Alpha Five’s built-in features allow you to create highly sophisticated applications without using code.
 
Programmers: Alpha Five is known for its built-in features. Start with this book to get a quick handle on how it works and then move into its programming language, Xbasic, to tweak your application. More than one expert has told us he wished he’d started with the book because it would have saved time in the long run.
 
*Alpha Five contains the ability to develop two types of databases, those used locally on a single or networked computer and those used in an intra-net or on the Internet. Local applications are referred to as “desktop” and those used remotely are referred to as “web” applications. For full information on the software, go to www.alphasoftware.com.

While we highly recommend the latest version of the software because it makes application development even easier, we also continue to make previous editions of the book available for those who prefer to stay with their current version.
