      Peter Wright, jeden z hlavních protagonistů britského televizního seriálu Veterinář z Yorkshiru, vypráví příběhy z vlastní veterinární praxe a s laskavým nadhledem i suchým humorem líčí život vesnického zvěrolékaře. Sympatická kniha navazuje na tradici Jamese Herriota – a to doslova, protože autor s tímto „nejslavnějším veterinářem všech dob“ pracoval v jeho ordinaci v Thirsku, malebném městečku v srdci severního Yorkshiru.

      The book deals with objects and object-orientated development with Visual Basic 5. It explains why object-oriented programming is so important today, and how its use can simplify the development process as a whole. To do this it drills down on Classes, ActiveX Controls, Components, Documents, OO style and what these things let you do. It leads the reader into the realm of actual development, by using a lot of real world examples, demonstrating the sort of problems that programmers come up against everyday.
