5.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful Guide to ADO.Net, September 26, 2001

This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)

I'd recommend this book to any experienced VB programmer that wishes to get into data access with .Net. This book isn't for beginners. If you've worked with ADO and VB for a time, it should be just right. I've invested in a couple of other Apress books and this one is of similar high quality. Lots of details, good reference material, and easy to read. Nice ADO.Net diagram tear out in the back of the book is a nice bonus.

This book is something else; not only do I get all the information I need about ADO.NET, but the way the sample code has been put together, leading to a complete application, is simply great. Don't miss out on this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starting point for ADO.NET newbie's, August 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)

It starts exactly where I want it to start and guides me through to the more advanced stuff. I saw the Active Directory Stuff, which isn't really me, but I do like the Message Queuing material. That was excellent. I am a fairly decent VB programmer, but the new VB.NET has taken me quite a while to get used to, so I was looking for some good book or other material to teach me ADO.NET, because it is so different to ADO. This book, even with its minor "mistakes" is worth every dime.
