First I must say that whatever I have covered so far has been perfectly explained and I found no errors and everything works perfectly. As a teacher I must comment that the book has been written very well and there are enough illustrations. The excellent thing about this book is that it is written for Visual Basic Express which is freely available and a copy of it comes with the book too! So as it says it is a complete starter kit! It is quite enjoyable to work through the sections too. I think some familiarity with previous versions of Visual Basic will be helpful, although the book explains the important points.
On the negative side, I am very disappointed not to find any chapter in this book on how to make your program produce printed output (reports etc)! This is very surprising as most programs would not be useful without being able to produce any printed output/reports etc!
The second thing that needs improving is to expand the section on databases and to include an in-dept chapter on Web applications as this is so important these days.
Despite the above problems I recommend this book.
My primary area for re-learning was saving data and this book covers ADO.net for saving in a database but you need to create the database in Access which was no good to me since i don't have Microsoft Office Professional £370. Or MS Access £90
I wanted to use the database features included in VB but they don't seem to work using the method the book shows (I might be doing something wrong there but)
I have other tutorials online which have helped me through my troubles.
This book is a great source though for getting into VB, the DVD comes with an official copy of Visual basic express and as mentioned by others it would be better if the project codes came on a CD however you can register to the website and type the code provided and you can download a zip file with everything in.
Listmania!
