3.0 out of 5 starsLanguage not clear
By A. Ali on December 29, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've just started the book. While there seems to be useful information presented, the authors are not native English speakers and apparently the publishers did not employ an editor to make the book more precise and more idiomatic. For instance on page 25: "Can make due with very little memory space," where "do" should have been used instead of "due." More seriously, the confusing way static and shared are defined and differentiated on pp.380-381; for example, this misleading wording: "However, you also have the option to create components that don't access class members." More accurate would have been: "You also have the option to create class members that can be used without instantiating the class." And instead of confusing the reader about differences between static and shared it would have been better to say, as Alessandro Del Sole does, that static in VB.NET is called shared. The two examples I've given above come from random but not extensive browsing: I am sure there are numerous other errors and oversights in presentation.

Besides the errors in language, the code is not clear. For example, the section on passing arguments to properties is interesting and not covered elsewhere -- but the code is unclear. Likewise the code for the split method for the string class on pp.295-296 is unclear when simpler examples would have sufficed (as given by Del Sole, for instance).

The book may have its uses as a reference but not on a stand-alone basis. I personally prefer Del Sole's "Visual Basic 2010 Unleashed" and the bible by Troelsen and Agarwal: "Pro VB 2010 and .NET 4 Platform."

2.0 out of 5 starsErrors and inconstant use of variables in the text
By Atom B on November 24, 2011
Format: Paperback
Update: As I progress further into the book the information is good and accurate. It's the projects that are the major downfall of this book. It still seems like two different versions of the book were written and the projects got mixed together. I upped my review to 2 stars.

This book appears to be targeted at an old version of visual studios with only small parts of the text updated. In one paragraph the the name of a variable will be txtmoviereview latter it changes to txtfilmreview with no explanation. Then there will be a picture example showing code with yet different names. This type of error is frequent.

The book ask you to use menu items that are no longer available in visual studios 2010 like adding an empty project. One Project requires you to download and use code from the authors site but the code you type will not match the references in the code you must download. Steps in project are often incomplete only getting you part of the way to were you should be. Most of the conceptual information is accurate it falls apart if you want to do any of the projects.

If you know another .net and want a challenge of correcting the authors mistakes this book might work for you. However if you are new to programming or even Visual Studios stay away from this book. It will only confuse you.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Book
By joey on November 1, 2011
Format: Paperback
I was suspicious at first: Yet another VB2010 book? And that late in the product cycle? But it seemed to concentrate basically on learning the actual language in depth, which was exactly what I was looking for - so I gave it a try. And I have to say: Wow! First of all, Herr Loeffelmann does proof the fact that Germans can be funny. And secondly, his approach to explain even complex facts is different, but very effective. If you, as one of many examples, want to grasp object oriented programming in a matter of minutes: Give his "Peter- the-monkey-approach" a try! 5 stars for that.

4.0 out of 5 starsSeller Service the Best! Buyer less than that.
By Ricardo Smith on May 31, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Seller service was the best. I only wanted wannabe developer level rather than practing developer reference. I failed to make that distinction from description but that was my bad. Only reason the overall experience gets a 4.
