1.0 out of 5 stars Book could be a lot better, 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I'm in a class which uses this book as it's primary text. We have problems in some of the code exercises. Some of the code in the book just doesn't work and it gets really aggrivating dealing with it. Additionally, features and functions are incorporated without first explaining them to the reader. Overall this is not a very good book to learn from. I personally had to purchase additional materials to better learn the material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kool., 28 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Well, this book certainly had its work cut out for it, and a job it has performed well. Its a shame its info on SQL and databases is so limited and many of the examples don't work correctly. But still a marvellous beginners book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots and lots of errors, 1 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Many errors were not on the publisher's site. If you are going to write a book, please make sure the code works. Try using it! Am I being unreasonable?

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad end-of-chapter exercises
This is a good book to learn VB from, until you get to the Chapter 7 end-of-chapter exercises. They make up a project that the reader is not at all equipped to produce. Read more
