Lots of useful "how-to's"
1 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
I've been into VB for about a half year, so I know my way around, but still have lots of questions that pop up. I was looking for something beyond a "learn VB in 10 minutes" intro and took a gamble that this book would actually live up to its title. It does! I've only had it a few days and already I've found answers to about a dozen or so questions I had. I've been concentrating on some of the more basic stuff like printing and getting a little into the ADO chapter. I took a quick look at the ASP and IIS chapter and it looks like just what I need to get a handle on how I can create a Web app.
IMO, this one's worth getting.

It's good - but....
23 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
I've been programming for around 8 months and was looking for a book to give me some extra hints.
Well, if I could have flicked though this book before I brought it. I simply wouldn't have brought it!
Anything in this book - my normal VB book has already covered, and the things that my normal book didn't cover, I found on the internet anyway - So I could have saved my money.
If you're a beginner who has been programing for less then a couple of months and your normal VB book isn't that comprehensive, then I would look at buying this book. But if you've got a big VB book (something over 1000pgs or so) then you could probably do without this book
On the positive side, this book contains a lot of answers to questions, although the examples aren't all that crash hot!
If you can, physically look though this book before you buy it!
