5.0 out of 5 stars MCP/MCDBA REVIEW, January 13, 2004

This review is from: Programming Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET with SQL Server and Access (DVD)

Greetings fellow developers,

This DVD is the single best source I have found for learning .Net-related technologies. Based on the quality of this DVD's content, I plan on purchasing several of DVPress's upcoming titles. After viewing this program, I realized that DVPress may be effectivly on their way to replacing the developer's racks of programming books with DVD cases!

The DVD has been designed to serve both as a full-length course as well as a reference for later on. I would prefer to carry around ten DVDs than ten 500-page books! Rock on DVPress, your products will no doubt better my career as a developer for now and hopefully as a architect/project manager later on!

Sincerely,
Derek Comingore

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for Getting Started with VB.NET/ADO.NET, April 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Programming Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET with SQL Server and Access (DVD)

I am an experienced Access developer, who is just starting out with this .NET stuff. This DVD was great for me. It built on my knowledge of Access database programming with VBA as it helped me to grasp VB.NET, ADO.NET, and even SQL Server. It helped me to understand SQL Server because many of the samples were coded for both Access and SQL Server. Therefore, I could see the changes necessary for me to code a solution for either database manager.

I find learning from this DVD published by DV Press very enjoyable. I purchased Rick Dobson's other DVD too, which is better from video production and presentation perspectives. However, this DVD, just like the second one from DV Press, provides lots of useful information in a format that's easy to understand. If you absorb material best from video presentations, you are bound to find this DVD more helpful than the hundreds books on VB.NET and ADO.NET.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concept Great,... Could Be Better, March 10, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Programming Visual Basic .NET and ADO.NET with SQL Server and Access (DVD)

The concept of watching a DVD for a technical book is great. The DVDs consist of a lecture style, with Power Point presentation and some on-screen demos. I was disappointed because it does feel as if a developer sat down in front of a video camera and did a 1 tape shoot. Still, I love this concept and would like to have seen more time taken with each lesson. But, I am a visual leaner, so I appreciate having a DVD option.
