Review of Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Professional Projects (Paperback)

Be sure that there is nothing professional about this book. It is certainly one of the worst out there. The applications you build in the book are based on code of the lowest quality. Nothing object oriented here. It has nothing to offer to the intermediate user and above and will introduce the beginner to some very bad programming habbits.

Don't be fooled that it 'll let you build a full video kiosk application. The intermediate could do with no effort and the beginner won't understand what and why, simply because it just throws totally basic code and explains nothing. Not even the SQL.

Then half of the content is of (the much ridiculus) style: "Now that we learned this, let's go and learn this"(end of section), next section: "in the previous section we learnd this, now let's go and learn this", or,"figure X shows ..." (figure) "as shown in figure X...". Irritating the least. I just adopts a "tell it to a ten years old" manner but actually says nothing usefull.

Bottom line: just don't buy.
