2.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and accurate ... but not helpful, 17 Jun 2009
By Mr. Bruce MACDONALD (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Maybe it's my fault; maybe I should have tried the "Beginning" book rather than the "Professional" one. But I'm not a beginner programmer - many years experience in VBA.
This book has driven me crazy. For the first 40+ pages it discusses syntax in detail without giving any examples and without any exercises.
For the past two days I've been trying to figure out how to deploy a project onto a LAN. This stupid book is happy to put me through 2 chapters on how Assemblies work, what they contain, what a manifest is, etc etc. All very important, I'm sure, but it would be better if it also told me how to deploy my project.
I feel like I've been cheated with this book. I'm sure that in its 1400-ish pages it contains everything I'll ever need to know about Visual Basic. But I don't think I'll ever find out b/c the format and approach is wrong.
