1.0 out of 5 stars Don't read it, even if you get it for free., 17 Aug 1999

By A Customer

I saw this book in the bargin book section of the computer store so I picked it up. It is HARD to find a good book on VB and this book is no exception. It has no depth. Each tip starts with the words "In Tip xxx, you learned blah, blah, blah". The author loves to call UDTs, structures. This isn't C, its Visual Basic. In one example (350 something). The author gives actual C code for a structure and doesn't tell us it's not VB code.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 10 Aug 1999

If you are anything like me, you buy four or five books in the hope that one will provide the information you need. Typically three out of five are not much use. This one is concise, to the point, covers the major stuff and is ideal for beginners. Real high speed learning and productivity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Beginners and Intermediate, 29 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This book is both a great introduction to VB for newbies and a great reference for VB gunslingers like myself.

For the rookie, it's a step-by-step introduction to VB. Each "tip" is a mini-lesson, and later lessons build on earlier ones. The writing is clean and easy to understand, and the code examples are easy to follow.

For the veteran, it's a fantastic reference ("What's the syntax for declaring an RDO recordset again?"). The index makes it very easy to find the information you are looking for, and the sequential nature of the lessons ensures that the item you are searching for will be in the midst of a larger discussion of the general topic.

This book is large; not just thick, but actually big. This is because the pages are printed in a large, easy-to-read font.

Well done! I only wish that Jamsa would do a "1,001 ASP Programmer's Tips".
