A Visual Tutorial for a Visual Language
23 Aug 2003
Format:Paperback
Visual Basic .Net programming (in fact, any Visual Studio programming) is a very visual process. As such, it requires a visual guide to learning the language and the development environment.
This book is one such guide, and does its job as well as a book can. However, even that is not enough to make learning VB.Net painless. There are so many diagrams in the book that it ultimately ends up being long and tedious. But I don't fault the book, as it's the best I've ever seen for this type of subject. It's just that a book can't do justice for the language as well as a classroom.
For self-study, I would recommend not a book but a CBT (computer-based training) course. Instead of making the student wade through pages and pages of screenshots, a CBT course animates the process of creating a program, and tests him or her at key points along the way. However, CBT courses aren't cheap. As a paper alternative, this is the only book I could recommend for the beginning Visual Basic student.

Used in college course
9 Dec 2002
Format:Paperback
I'm taking a visual basic class at my local community college this semester and we're using this book. I really like it and it's laid out well and is particularly good for looking things up when you need a reference guide. There's a program at the end of each chapter (they give you the full source code along with the psuedocode and form design so that you can create it all yourself). There have been a few minor mistakes that we've found but otherwise the book is excellent for learning VB.

Not good for online classes
16 July 2004
Format:Paperback
I am currently an online student at a local university. I attempted a class using this book. Another reviewer put it beautifully, "the book doesn't explain how it got the code listed at the end of the chapter" and understanding how to get there could prove to be a long night! While I've never programmed before except playing with some basic programs as a kid, I felt confident I could pass the class with work and dedication. I spent more than twice as much time online than I would have taking a campus class and still didnt' "get" it. Because I've been able to achieve success in other subjects that aren't my strong suits, I feel that the blame must rest with the book and the lack of continuity in the exercises. In fact, I noticed that the class will be using a different book this fall. Wonder why?!
If you've programmed before, then this book might be okay; if not---don't attempt to learn with this one.
