Book Reviews of Visual Basic 2005 How to Program (3rd Edition) (How to Program (Deitel))Book Review: VB 2005 Summary: 4 StarsI used this text in combination with Simply Visual Basic for my class. This book has more information, but less fun than SVB. Generally I found this text able to accomplish it's goal in introducing student to VB.
Some negative things: I think it somewhat redundant to start every Deitel book with descriptions and overview od input, output, CPU etc. Usually, people who take this class already know these things. Another thing, is Deitel's font selection and organization. It is truly would benefit to rethink it. I can't say what exactly not appealing, but it takes time to get used to their font designations and tips, often in the middle of the text. (tips are better always on the sides). And, yes those bug pictures can get annoying. Sometimes it looks like page is somewhat broken because of those tips, and look disorganized. But this is general comment on the series.
Book Review: Deitel Summary: 5 StarsThis is the 3rd Deitel book that I've used for school. They are very easy to understand and the assignments in the text are challenging. Deitel has a way of blending humor, real world experience and concepts together to make an interesting read out of what normally is challenging. I'm not much of a book reviewer, but I would recommend this book to someone wishing to get a start with programming in VB.
Book Review: Not impressed Summary: 2 StarsI'm taking a VB 2005 class in college and we are using this book. I am not a programmer, I am a Systems & Network Analyst and I read lots and lots of computer books and I have to say that his book reads horribly. I find myself confused at times and its very fast paced. Also, our instructor assigns us the exercises at the end of the chapters and the exercises are truly hard. The exercises want you to create something that was "supposedly" covered in the chapter. Not that it wasnt covered, its just that it did not go into depth as much as it should to do the exercise. Everytime I have to work an exercise I have to look else where to find a solution or sample code. I would not recommend this book to anyone unless you have taken and Intro VB class or read an Intro VB book.
Book Review: Good Book For Beginners Summary: 5 StarsI have been used this book for my teachings to my students. It is a very good book to teach them the concept of procedural and object-oriented programming. The book is well-organized and impressively, my students understood the OOP very well. TQ.
Book Review: Veronica Sanders Summary: 5 StarsAs a former IT Instructor, I give the thumbs up on this book. Its great, informative and very detailed. It takes a novice programmer to the intermediate level of programming.
