Visual Basic 28 May 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
James Foxall is a great writer who makes a scary subject approachable. His working examples allow you to see real progress. It's a good book for a beginner or some-one with limited programming experience.

By AM VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This book uses Visual Basic Express as the basis for the examples and project used in the book.

James writes in a style that I like and the way I write my own manuals. He really thinks about the reader and how they would like to learn.

Each chapter covers a topic and has exercises to use and the book as a whole has a project for you to complete as you go along.

This is backed by a forum in which James (when he has time) will try to personally answer your queries.

If only he wrote every book for the Visual Studio series of tools.

Brilliant 25 April 2009
Format:Paperback
Brilliant book! I came to this completely new to VB and programming - it was challenging and enjoyable. Predictably, each hour took me much longer to complete, but I managed to stick with it. Loved it!Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008 in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit
