5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent DB/VB book, 11 Jan 2003
This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (.Net Developer) (Paperback)
I was searching for a DB book with VB .NET example code and there are lots of them. A friend recommended this one and I'm glad she did. There's so much information in this book; it's unbelievable. I skipped chapter 1, but chapter 2 was an excellent refresher, as the author states, and I can certainly use this chapter for later reference. I'm an experienced DB developer and I DO know about normal forms, but like many people I forget things here now and then, so this chapter is a very quick reference. Part II and III are excellent introductions to the two ADO.NET layers and after reading through them, I really understand the concepts of ADO.NET and especially the way it works with disconnected data access. These two parts with apendixes C and D are excellent as reference guides and I can recommend the book just for these chapters/appendixes. Wait, there's more: Stored Procedures, Views, Triggers, exception handling and much more. Truly a book for any serious VB/DB developer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, no more, no less, 30 Nov 2002
This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (.Net Developer) (Paperback)
I'm not usually a guy of many words, but this books stands out from other ADO.NET books I've read. This is the book you want to buy, if you need a serious intro to ADO.NET as well as a few advanced topics like database locking. However, I think that the reference appendices are one of the best things about the book, and it certainly is a cool feature to have all the tables in the book this way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Databases, watch out!, 6 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I think this is an excellent book. Not only does it cover the ADO.NET stuff, which is why I bought the book in the first place, but also Message Queue, which is something I will be working with soon. It's real easy to read and understand, so I think 5 stars are in order.
