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
By A Customer
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".

1.0 out of 5 stars Title is misleading - content is repetitious.
This is not a tips and tricks book - it is an introductory VB programming book. Because it's broken down into 1001 small bits, the same information is often repeated in many... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not great
I was not thrilled with what I took away from this book. The title should more appropriately read "1001 MOSTLY TRIVIAL Visual Basic Programmer's Tips. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Handy Resource.
Whenever I get stuck in Visual Basic, I pull out "1001 Visual Basic Tips" and within minutes, I have an answer. I recommend it for any computer programmer's bookshelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Presents Visual Basic topics in bite-sized amounts
Overall it is a good book. At least 1/2 of the topics can be found in Microsoft documentation. But the presentation of each topic is very clear. Read more
