3.0 out of 5 stars Another programming book not for non-programmers, March 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: AutoCAD VBA Programming Tools and Techniques : Exploiting the Power of VBA in AutoCAD 2000 (Paperback)

Once I learn how to program in VBA, I will look back on this book for reference. It is not a book to help a non-programmer like myself learn how to write code. I am breaking down and going to a local AutoCad dealership for that. Most of this book is just way over my head right now.

2.0 out of 5 stars AutoCAD VBA Programming Tools and Techniques : Exploiting th, November 19, 2000

Ralph Gaston (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AutoCAD VBA Programming Tools and Techniques : Exploiting the Power of VBA in AutoCAD 2000 (Paperback)

This book is certainly not for people new to VBA, even though the introduction leads one to believe that is covers the "basics" The second chapter begins with sample program and once the reader finishes that chapter, the authors assume they have taught just about all there is to know about how VBA works. I was hoping the CD would pull me out but it would not open on either win 2000 or win 98+. I learned AutoLISP out of a book in about two weeks and use it regularly but learning VBA from this book is next to impossible

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it., August 6, 2002

Chris Hardwicke (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: AutoCAD VBA Programming Tools and Techniques : Exploiting the Power of VBA in AutoCAD 2000 (Paperback)

This is perhaps the worst book on programming I have ever read. I am an advanced autolisp programmer hoping to learn Visual Basic for Autocad and this book claimed to be for me. Unfortunately it wastes its ink on theory and large print than just giving a lot of useful programming examples - which is the best way to learn programming in my opinion.

We can't find no much help on this book. The Cd rom that came with the book was blank and I had to download the examples files on the internet.
