4.0 out of 5 stars
Simple examples and lots of topics,
By bob benavides (allen texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VB 2005 Black Book (Black Book (Paraglyph Press)) (Paperback)
This book looks very similar to the Teach yourself vb 2003 in 21 from sams publishing. I liked that book alot. I have to get used to the black book style in which each chapter seems to be separated in 2 sections. Nonetheless, the topics and examples are great.
I wish there would have been a chapter on using chrystal reports and another on using sql server 2005. Also, I wish there was a better online companion for this book. It could be a great book. One thing happened to me that I hope the publisher has corrected. I had a problem coping ch 5 from the cd to my computer. I contacted the publisher and they let me ftp another copy of the cd.
4.0 out of 5 stars
concise,
This review is from: VB 2005 Black Book (Black Book (Paraglyph Press)) (Paperback)
This book is very concise. It is basically a trimmed down copy of the MSDN, as it only shows the "noteworthy" members of classes. It doesn't have detailed examples, but does include a CD with code examples. You can even connect to Paraglyph's FTP server and download examples (you can even get the entire book in .pdf format).
I like that the book shows examples of how to implement something through design-time, then the same example done through run-time (using code). One thing I noticed is that it lists properties with descriptions, but those descriptions always start with "Obtains..." or "Gets..." which (to me) implies that the property is read-only. There is nothing that tells me if the property is read-only, or if I can set a value. This is a reference book that is easier to navigate than the MSDN. Don't rely on it for examples.
