This review is from: Prototyping with Visual Basic (Paperback)

It is a good book for beginners on this subject (prototyping).

Most of the contents is just plain "common sense"; one could figure it him/herself. However is worthwhile for the tips given and the examples shown.

I do not agree with all recommendations; it just depends on what you consider good/solid programming.
