This review is from: Programming in Visual Basic 2008 (Paperback)
This is a pretty horrible book. The end of the chapter hands on programming cases suck, they tend to just go and not really explain what and why. Also there are so many errors in the code, you either have to figure out what is missing or give up, which wastes more of your time. I am sure there are many better books than this. I had to use this for a class and it is not worth the HIGH amount i had to pay. It is sort of like the author had ADD or something, the content bounces around and you never get a full explanation of what is going on. Many people in my class complained about the same thing. This book sucks

Aweful college textbook, beg your school to use another,
This review is from: Programming in Visual Basic 2008 (Paperback)
I am not going to repeat the exact words of all who have disliked this book as I agree with all of the other examples given by reviewers, jumpy, confusing, missing info, etc. This book along with my instructors use of short cut words for commands has me totally lost. I believe that to get thru this class I might need to purchase a better rated book for explanation.

Absolutely the worst textbook I've had to purchase yet!,

This review is from: Programming in Visual Basic 2008 (Paperback)
I'm taking a beginning Visual Basic course and this is our textbook. The book jumps around from topic to topic and doesn't actually show you what anything is doing. It's not chronological, so it's not like you can even follow the book, type in the code and get something to work. It's all very random and meaningless. When I need to figure out what something does, the book doesn't even explain it well. Also, the Case Studies the end of each chapter are USELESS! It shows you how to create the user-interface AND it gives you all of the code. Talk about a no-brainer??? You don't have to use your brain in order to do the homework, which means you aren't learning ANYTHING! So, now I've been given the "calculator" challenge. I'm completely clueless, because the book taught me nothing so far! If I could give this book a 0 stars, I would!
