Book Reviews of Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))
Book Review: First-rate Introduction to VB 2005 book---it delivers, as stated!
Summary: 4 Stars
A first-rate, terrific job of guiding readers trough the basic features of VB .NET 2005, just like it publicizes. Every single chapter, and every section, includes examples that you can either build on yourself or study from the accompanying CD.
If you're either a totally new programmer or slightly experienced newbie to VB programming, this is the book for you. (Experienced programmers should ensure they read the intro/scope material, as this book is NOT for them.) I breezed through this book, and did all of the examples, in about 20 hours. I should rate this book 5-stars, but I give it only 4-stars, because it would have been nice to also include an additional CD of MS SQL 2005 Server Express and expand a bit more on the chapters associated with databases and dataset manipulation that cover real-life work-related scenarios. Readers like choices so including the option to use MS Access or SQL Server database examples, and adding Access/Sql examples in the book, would have been the ultimate for a beginning programmer's book. Let's face it: One of the greatest strengths of the VB IDE is to rapidly create apps that can consume and manipulate data.
