Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic 2012

The price is ridiculous. I guess it caters to a captive audience: students using it for class. I also moves slowly. I wouldn't mind a faster pace so it could get a little more meat in. There are some very odd comments too. In the beginning of the book ti advises the reader to print all code from finished solutions to place in a filing cabinet or somewhere safe. I've never met someone who still prints code, nor do I have any desire to use so much paper to put something in a format that can't really be used easily. That set me off on a suspicious foot, but as I got into the book, it wasn't bad. I don't use VB.net professionally (I use PHP, SQL, and a little python and C++), but I found the book good enough to keep me engaged in the class I'm taking on my own time. If you have zero programming experience, the pace might be about right. If you have experience, it might be slow and not terribly deep, but part of that is just related to how easy many of the surface concepts are in Visual Studio.

Very useful and easy to read! I would recommend this book for Visual Basic 2012 beginners. Fast delivery. Great condition. The only con is that the book only mentions at the very beginning that you have to download a few files at a secure sight. I didn't realize that until halfway through chapter 1 since it's mentioned before chapter 1, which I usually don't read.

A good book and came a day early in great condition. I use this book for my collage class and would never be able to complete the work without it.

I needed this book for school and although it was pricey it was even more pricey in the store here on campus - I also have the software with the slides so it follows along well. - one thing was when the mail man put it in the mail box it almost ruined the book -

Great book that goes much deeper than many Intro-to-VB books. Great examples. I just wish the erratas (errors) had been fixed in the PDF version.

this book gave me the tools to get an A in the class, but there were some minor discrepancies my professor mentioned.

Got this e-book for a programming class I was taking and it worked great. It's convenient to have it in e-book version. Can make notes and highlight.

No issues
