1.0 out of 5 stars Makes good kindling, July 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Visual Interdev (Paperback)

Its always frustrating to spend 25 dollars on a book that claims to teach something and doesn't follow through. That is the case with this book. Nothing here I couldn't have gotten surfing the web for free. Books that claim to be for idiots should be for people who are new to the subject, not for people stupid enough to waste their money on a book that doesn't follow through. I burned it along with some PILOT books fromt he 70's.

2.0 out of 5 stars Idoits guide written, for idiots by idiots., October 9, 1997

If you are having trouble opening the box, taking out the cd-rom and setting up the software, then you might find some use for this book. If you are in need of developing anykind of database driven sites then your best bet is to look else where.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very basic - not much real information, August 7, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Microsoft Visual Interdev (Paperback)

I didn't find this book to be of much help in any category. It was mostly a general overview, with few details. If all you were doing is the basics, it could be of some help, but if you really want to build a real application, it's not very helpful
