 Visual Basic.Net 203 Update Edition March 28, 2008
The book appears grea--typical of Brqdley/Millspaugh. However, it would have been nice if the endclosed software matched the text of the book. The book refers to the "2003 Update", but the endclosed sofware is for the "2005 update". The two do not match and thus the purpose of enclosing the software so I can do the exercises in the book and thus
learn to use the software is very much more difficult than intended. With the missmatch, I now believe I wasted the purchase price. I did not get what I bargained for.
A very cursory approach to learning VB.NET November 25, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book, while getting a user quickly up and running with VB.NET, provides very little detail and explanation on almost every topic it covers. If you are someone who has never written a line of code in your life, have never used Visual Studio (or any other IDE for that matter), and want a very cursory explanation of VB.NET and the use of the various code wizards, then you will find this book quick and informative. For those of us who demand a more rigorous approach, I would highly recommend purchasing another book, geared toward more serious programmers.
 straightforward programming within Visual Studio April 1, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The programming in VB.NET 2005 is straightforwardly presented here. It is not a comprehensive exposition of all the VB.NET commands and widgets. Otherwise the book would be much thicker. Instead, the authors strove to teach the most common and, hopefully, useful features of the language.
We can see that Microsoft has put a lot of effort into making VB coding as painless as possible. Buttressed by the addition of a CD with Visual Studio. The latter gives a nice development environment that you could consider learning. Alas, there is only a 6 month trial period for it. Clearly, Microsoft puts this forth as a teaser. Hoping that by the end of that time, you'll be so used to Visual Studio that you'll gladly plonk down bucks for the full version.
