5.0 out of 5 stars
Visual Basic Evangelism,
By Stuart McCafferty (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Human Machine Interfaces using Visual Basic (Spiral-bound)
This book is written with the beginner Visual Basic developer in mind. If you are already an experienced VB developer, but know nothing about HMI systems, it is also a useful resource. It is the only book I have run across that addresses developing industrial applications using non-proprietary software. It's a life-saver if you are interested in developing a low-cost, low-maintenance HMI or SCADA application for your factory environment. It provides step-by-step instructions for connecting an HMI front-end to a PLC. If you are new to Visual Basic or interested in learning VB and specifically how it applies to an industrial application, I would highly recommend adding this book to your reference material. If you want to further your education in this area, I would also recommend contacting the author to schedule on-site training.

For wealthy beginers only,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating Human Machine Interfaces Using Visual Basic (Paperback)
I found this book too simplistic and way overpriced. It provided little information that could not be found for free on the internet. Furthermore, references are made to specific products, which means that the programs can not be run without downloading (or buying) the demos (some of which are severly limited).It doesn't even have an index!

Very simple minded,
By Jacob Soboleff (Juneau Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Human Machine Interfaces using Visual Basic (Spiral-bound)
I've been working on a lighting control program in visual basic that reads and writes to PLCs, and this book didn't give me any new ideas. It might be useful to someone who wanted to create an HMI interface but knew nothing about Visual Basic (or programming in general), but the project would have to be almost exactly like one of the examples in the book
