Customer Reviews

A nice read!

I've enjoyed reading this book as it is aimed at beginner to intermediate programmers with details that will instill in a person's mind. The topics are well covered without boring the reader, and a lot of interesting and important topics are well discussed. Highly recommended and looking forward to the 2008 version using VStudio.

Very helpful book

This book was very helpful. I was able to quickly learn and program classes, file streams, collections and graphics. The chapters on database programming were not as helpful as I was not able to get a database up and running. All in all, I'm very happy with the book. I'm a casual programmer and I used a pre-dot-NET version of Visual Basic, so I needed a book that I could read in bits and pieces to quickly get up to speed on object oriented programming and dot-NET. I had a difficult time catching on using Microsoft's impossible help facility and the training materials that Microsoft put out.
