Life saver!!!

This book saved me! After looking through several other books and numerous web researches I was about to jump out of the window, but thank God this book came along. It answered my questions relating to the use of collections which many other books simply touch upon without sufficient explanations and examples because it's considered an "advanced" topic. Well, I am working on my first real world web application and I need to use collections! So skip those beginner books (because their life on your shelf will be short) and buy this one because it covers a lot more and yet still present topics in a way that a biginner like me can follow!

I borrowed this first from the public library, then I recommended it to my boss and we ordered several copies. Covers a vast scope of applications. I haven't been thru the complete book (almost 1400 pages) but every time I have looked up topics, it has been helpful. It stays off the shelf and on my desk most of the time.

While I bought this book for reference it appears to be a very good book.
If you do buy the book...check for pages 963-994. My copy has excluded these pages and were only found while attempting to use it as a reference.
I've contacted the publisher and at this point it does not look good for correction since my purchase is over 90 days. My purchase was 6 months ago and I've sent them the receipt.

I purchased this book to learn programming in a visual environment. I have not programmed since I took some courses back in college programming on a main frame. There are many typos in this book and the code Does not work in many of sections. I am trying to learn by following along with the code in the book and get hit with many errors. When you look at the code from the web site it is completely different from what he has in the book which is taking huge amounts of time to figure out what he has done. I would not refer this book to anyone trying to learn the language.

OK Entry Level

This book provided good entry level coverage of the VB2005 language. I found it a little on the elementary side as I am a very experienced programmer in VC++. If you are just learning to program in VB or are just beginning to code in an Object Oriented environment than this books would be an OK book to buy. However, for beginning programmers I always reccommend "Deietl" books for the very structured system of teaching you programming concepts.
If you are an experience OO programmer in another language (VC++ or Java) looking to bring those skills into the VB2005 language then I don't reccommend this book. I highly reccommend "Visual Basic 2005 : The Language" as it covers the more advanced features and methods available and is a great reference to learn VB.
