DVD Training - I love it!

ByAmazon Customeron March 5, 2004

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is really happening. Now I have a DVD instead of 600 pages long book. It's well organized so that you can jump from chapter to chapter with only one click. Great feature when you are using DVD as a reference.
It's like having a private leassons with your own personal expert. Rick Dobson's style of teaching is clear and simple. After you go through all the leasons you will be able to understand and use VB.NET and ADO.NET in real world applications. I have read more then a few books on this topic but when you have somebody speaking to you and explaining it like he is here... that's something different. I learned more from this DVD then from any other book. My favorite sections of this DVD are labs where you can test everything you learned.
Chapters
Every chapter begins with a few Power Point slides where Rick gives you some basic facts about what you'll learn. Then he explains everything you need to know and after that you go in a "code mode" where he explains everything you learned in code. He will guide you through the code and explain everything you need to know in order to build the aplication on your own.
Way to go DV Press! I'm expecting more titles in DVD format and as good as this one.

MCP/MCDBA REVIEW

ByDerek Comingoreon January 13, 2004

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Greetings fellow developers,
This DVD is the single best source I have found for learning .Net-related technologies. Based on the quality of this DVD's content, I plan on purchasing several of DVPress's upcoming titles. After viewing this program, I realized that DVPress may be effectivly on their way to replacing the developer's racks of programming books with DVD cases!
The DVD has been designed to serve both as a full-length course as well as a reference for later on. I would prefer to carry around ten DVDs than ten 500-page books! Rock on DVPress, your products will no doubt better my career as a developer for now and hopefully as a architect/project manager later on!
Sincerely,
Derek Comingore
MCP/MCDBA

Concept Great,... Could Be Better

ByA customeron March 9, 2004

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

The concept of watching a DVD for a technical book is great. The DVDs consist of a lecture style, with Power Point presentation and some on-screen demos. I was disappointed because it does feel as if a developer sat down in front of a video camera and did a 1 tape shoot. Still, I love this concept and would like to have seen more time taken with each lesson. But, I am a visual leaner, so I appreciate having a DVD option.

Could be better

I guess you get what you pay for, it was a bit borring for me to watch the lessons. It's reminding me of my Phylosophy class in HS.

Good for Getting Started with VB.NET/ADO.NET

ByA customeron April 2, 2004

Format: DVD

I am an experienced Access developer, who is just starting out with this .NET stuff. This DVD was great for me. It built on my knowledge of Access database programming with VBA as it helped me to grasp VB.NET, ADO.NET, and even SQL Server. It helped me to understand SQL Server because many of the samples were coded for both Access and SQL Server. Therefore, I could see the changes necessary for me to code a solution for either database manager.
I find learning from this DVD published by DV Press very enjoyable. I purchased Rick Dobson's other DVD too, which is better from video production and presentation perspectives. However, this DVD, just like the second one from DV Press, provides lots of useful information in a format that's easy to understand. If you absorb material best from video presentations, you are bound to find this DVD more helpful than the hundreds books on VB.NET and ADO.NET.

Yes and No

ByDean Sorensonon June 8, 2007

Format: DVD

The demo was informative except that it uses an old version of Visual Studio and his screen was very small so he had to be constantly moving, opening, and closing windows. The transitions were annoying. There are pdf' of the lectures.

When I copied the demo projects to my computer. None of them would run or even open in Visual Studio 2005 and none could be converted. The email address on the DVD is a dead link. I did a search and found his website. I sent him an email to ask what the problem was, which he ignored.

Adequate. It is what it is...

ByB. Hinrichson August 3, 2005

Format: DVD

This is not the best production and the presentation is, as another reviewer put it, "City College". But, it is what it is...an inexpensive DVD training course that exposes you to all the basics. Its exactly what I needed as an experienced VB developer to get into VB.NET database access.

If you are shallow and cannot look past the presentation for the content provided then this DVD is not for you. If you can sift through the minor inconsistancies and meandering presentation style, which most of us do on a daily basis with users and business analysts, then snap this baby up.
