Great book for a beginning programmer, doesnt dwell with too much detail, just the basics to get going.

1.0 out of 5 stars What? What is the author talking about?, 31 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Programming Business Applications with Visual Basic (Paperback)
What a bad book. I feel bad for all those students using this book in class.Half the time I'm not sure what the author is talking about. I just finished a college course using this book. I love the idea of being programmer, but at this point I don't feel confident enough to go on to the next level of programming.With this book I wasn't sure what was going on. I am going to take another Visual Basic's class, just so that I can get a better grip on Visual Basic. By the way I received a B+ in the class, no thanks to this book.What a terible book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book worked very well for an intro programming course., 24 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Programming Business Applications with Visual Basic (Paperback)
I taught an elective course on Visual Basic 5.0 from the Burrows-Langford book during the Fall of 1998 at the University of Michigan. Most of the 40 students in the course were seniors in Michigan's small BBA program. There were no programming pre-requisites for the course. Student reaction to the book was very favorable, as was mine. Indeed, the book is written so carefully and so clearly and its four-color illustrations are designed and presented so effectively that some of the students found little need for classroom elaboration on the material contained in the book.

Each chapter in the book contains numerous well-designed examples. Short exercises are sprinkled throughout each chapter, too (not coming just at the end). Each chapter concludes with an excellent chapter summary, a list of key terms, end-of-chapter problems, and programming problems. There are also 14 "programming projects" within the chapters, written in such a way as to guide the reader through the creation of the corresponding project. In the early projects the reader is led in detail through the project steps, but in the later projects the reader is expected to supply more and more of the details. These projects provide a very nice bridge between fundamental considerations on the one hand and the challenge of tying all the pieces together on the other hand. Implementing these projects contributes very importantly to the learning experience.

We used the book packaged with the Learning Edition of Visual Basic on a CD-ROM. (The book can also be purchased without the CD-ROM.) The majority of the students owned desktop PCs and consequently were able to do their assigned work without coming to the computing lab.
