Visual Basic

Easy to read and fairly informative about Visual Basic. The programs are free to download from Microsoft.com but having a disc with all them on it that comes with the book is very helpful! :)

It's the Book!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a very cool book, if you don't know anything about visual basic this is the book you should buy, but if you have some skills in visual basic look for another book

Surprisingly good for a MS book

I've tried several MS press books in the past and found them not really very useful. I'm from the Java side and familiar with the concepts and approaches for .NET, but have never used any Visual Studio based products directly. This book was perfect for my needs. I was able to get the Express C# package up and running quickly and build out the projects in the book in about a week. I thought the level was perfect for me. Just the right mix of hand holding and intro to most of the general concepts. I think MS did a great job with this book and also with the packaging of the Express Edition software. For a very small investment (dollars and time) one can get a great feel for the MS development environment with this book.
