I had a rip-roaringly enjoyable [laugh out loud, turn page, repeat] time last night reading “Mr. Bunny’s Guide to ActiveX”. Mr. Bunny is a talking rabbit (I bet you guessed that already). Mr. Bunny and Farmer Jake are the main characters in this subversively hilarious romp through the wonders of ActiveX. Along the way, accurate snipes are taken at the Windows Registry, CLSIDs, and Visual Basic. Lawn gnomes come to life to illustrate function calls. Rubber ducks inflate to save our protagonists. Appropriately humorous diagrams illustrate new concepts. Almost all entries in the index say “see ActiveX”. Buy it, borrow it, steal it, xerox someone else’s when they’re out to lunch. Carefully examine each page, don’t miss any fine print or you’ll miss a laugh. There’s also Mr. Bunny’s Big Cup O’ Java which I will read when I’ve sufficiently recovered from this one.
