Alpha Five: Xbasic for Everyone

Published in 2008, this is a new and updated edition of the original Xbasic for Everyone! This is the book to buy if you want to learn Xbasic.

Dr. Wayne has been involved with Alpha Five since its earliest days and is known for his lucid explanations. He takes the reader all the way from an introduction to Xbasic to sophisticated Xdialog, ActiveX, image display, and AlphaDAO and Javascript. You can even "upsize your database" to MySQL.

In addition to teaching Xbasic, Dr. Wayne peppers the book with useful examples showing how to use Javascript and MySQL stored procedures to enhance your enterprise-worthy application.

The 2008 edition was written for Alpha Five Version 8, but, is applicable to Versions 9 and 10, too. The only difference is that V9 and 10 have additional features not covered in this book, such as Active Link tables and the Alpha Five Javascript library.
