Rating: - Errata Incomplete and Not Up To Date
I like the WROX series books a great deal. I like the fact that they have beginning, professional, and other books on the same subject. Their site publishes errata that you can write into your book before starting it.
But, then as I go through the book I find more typos, illogicalities, or wrong descriptions (such as telling you that you will see a particular screen upon hitting a certain menu and that is not the screen that you do see).
I started sending in errata, one chapter ... Read More

Basically I am an infrastructure designer. I build networks, servers, and web hosting centers. I knew ZERO about programming. I had alot of ideas that I would like to write programs for but had no idea how to get started. I have one semester of cleege so I literraly have nothing when it come to programming. After buying this book and I very very close to being able to do everything I wanted to do. A WINIPCFG visual program for W2K, an admin secured chat program, etc. All I can say is great book!!!!
Rating: - Generally a good book
I am an intermediate programmer. I decided to introduce myself to the new VB.NET by reading a beginner book. This book had a lot of examples. I actually enjoyed it. However, if you want to learn OOPs, this book is not for you.
Eventually, I will read this book again because of so many code routines that it has which I didn't quite understand the first time I read it. The authors used OOPs in the book without really explaining it in detail.
I recommend this book as a good beginner ... Read More
