3.0 out of 5 stars More of a marketing book than a technical manual
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
Given the title and the back-panel, I expected this to be a very technical book. loaded with information of use to developers.

Instead, it is a mostly, "what is new in VBA 2010" and "what things does .net offer."

There is very little light cast on some of the more challenging aspects of the APIs and inherent functions, my sole reason for buying the book.

It is interesting and well written. It is just not the book that I thought it would be or led to believe based on the title and description.

Your mileage may vary.

I know the book is 2010 and this is 2015, but still, the information is 95%+ good and works. I use it as a desktop reference rather often especially when I forget how to implement a procedure. The write up describing Classes, Instances, Inheritance and Polymorphism is very good and they made it understandable with plenty of examples. They also give some background information, which is interesting, how some of the ideas Microsoft had came about. Plenty of code examples that still work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Errors and inconstant use of variables in the text
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2011
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.

"Visual Basic 2010 Developer's Handbook" is a logical continuation on the book "Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Step by Step" . It explains the reader in a very clear and well understanding way how to become a real expert in Visual Basic programming. The examples given in the book and the accompanying code let you work very quickly without losing a lot of time. It also let you learn much more about using Visual Studio to accelerate your Visual Basic developments and let you develop your skills in programming with .NET Framework. With that book I made it possible to develop professional applications in a minimum of time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Language not clear
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2011
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."

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very good (almost)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2011
Verified Purchase
It's a good book with important information within it. In particular, the main OOP example is v.good, as it pursues this one example to a little bit of depth. Most other books that discuss OOP start with Person/Customer but then switch to Car and/or Animal/Dog - which is quite annoying!

It's not perfect though:

There are too many sidebars/boxes that interrupt the flow of the text. A number of these "side-notes" are significant enough that they could just be incorporated into the main text;
The flow of the text is also interrupted by personal history, or anecdotes. Although these might be interesting, and offer some insight, I would prefer that they are moved towards the beginning or end of the section;
The coverage is by no means complete, and the author emphasizes certain topics. He frequently mentions LINQ and cross-references to this section. I realise that this is an important, and interesting, subject but the frequent cross-referencing to it is a little overboard.
The number of tables and definitions is limited, so important details are contained within the main text. This reduces it's usefulness as a reference book.

In summary, it's a good book and has some interesting examples. But it's more a book to study than a reference.

The book covers all you need to know to enable you to program using all types of forms and importing namespaces so you can include XMAL code in your visual basic program which enables the programming of Apps and Tiles. It covers the new Object Orientated Programming that makes Visual Basic more like C# in structure and speed. I found some of the chapters where long winded and the terms could have been simplified and less technical seeing as The Book is meant for beginners who have a limited knowledge of Visual Basic Programming. But all in all a must have book
