Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Visual Basic .NET Database Programming for Dummies (Paperback)
This is a total waste of paper. Save the forrest, do not print books like that!
Most of the stuff from this book can be easily found on the net. And also the book does not cover most of the topics. There is not a single part of the book that describes well any of the .NET concepts

This review is from: Visual Basic .NET Database Programming for Dummies (Paperback)
I'm a beginner and already have hit errors on page 47:Start>Programs>MS SQL server>Configure SQL XML support in IIS My computer yield the following: There is no mention of Configure XML support in IIS! I'm tired of buying books with sloppy technical editing. Oh, to read just one book on VB .net that didn't have an error in the first 50 pages.
