Paradox Programmers Move to Windows With Ventana's New Visual Guide

Chapel Hill, NC; August 15, 1994--With its icons, buttons, graphics and
OLE, Paradox for Windows has transformed complex database development into
simple drag-and-drop exercises. Likewise, The Visual Guide to Paradox for
Windows, new from Ventana Press, tells the Paradox for Windows story
through screen shots, flow charts and other graphic examples.

The Visual Guide to Paradox for Windows assumes no prior knowledge of the
software or databases, but covers building tables, forms, queries and
reports from the ground up, with particular emphasis on Paradox for
Windows' easy-to-use automated 'Experts.'

Beginning with a general introduction to database theory and concepts, The
Visual Guide to Paradox for Windows moves into a 10-chapter tutorial in
Paradox basics, followed by chapters on graphics, OLE, ObjectPAL,
Paradox's programming language, and developing advanced applications. Two
sample applications--a contacts manager and an inventory manager--provide
examples for advanced work. An appendix covers issues involved in hiring a
consultant.

The companion disk includes the forms, reports, tables and queries
discussed in the book and used in the examples, as well as the complete
inventory and contact management applications.

The Visual Guide to Paradox for Windows expands Ventana's Visual Guide
series, a set of tutorial/reference volumes that originated with the
acclaimed Visual Guide to Visual Basic.

The Visual Guide to Paradox for Windows is 670 pages, illustrated, with
disk. ISBN: 1-56604-150-3. Suggested retail price: $29.95.

Author Patrick J. Burns owns a consulting firm and is an established
author, lecturer and expert in spreadsheet development. He has authored
and contributed to more than two dozen computer books, including Windows,
Word * Excel Office Companion and SmartSuite Desktop Companion (both
published by Ventana Press) and Using Paradox 4.5 (Que).

Contributing editors Jan Weingarten and Ted Clifford, with 20 years of
database design and programming experience between them, offer valuable
'in-the-field' development strategies and ObjectPAL application design
expertise.
