1001 Visual Basic Programmer's Tips

If you are anything like me, you buy four or five books in the hope that one will provide the information you need. Typically three out of five are not much use. This one is concise, to the point, covers the major stuff and is ideal for beginners. Real high speed learning and productivity.

This book is both a great introduction to VB for newbies and a great reference for VB gunslingers like myself.For the rookie, it's a step-by-step introduction to VB. Each "tip" is a mini-lesson, and later lessons build on earlier ones. The writing is clean and easy to understand, and the code examples are easy to follow.For the veteran, it's a fantastic reference ("What's the syntax for declaring an RDO recordset again?"). The index makes it very easy to find the information you are looking for, and the sequential nature of the lessons ensures that the item you are searching for will be in the midst of a larger discussion of the general topic.This book is large; not just thick, but actually big. This is because the pages are printed in a large, easy-to-read font.Well done! I only wish that Jamsa would do a "1,001 ASP Programmer's Tips".

Very well organized. Covers all the major topics with plenty of code examples. Jamsa & Klander really put together a fine set of examples with very good explanations. I use this book every day, and recommend it to anyone.

Highly recommended for beginners. Content of the book is almost the same as on-line help in VB, but all topics are explained MUCH BETTER. If you use on-line help in VB, buy this book right now. After this book VB will be a toy for you.
