Useful overview of db development

I would recommend this book to those who want to understand the db development environment without being bogged down in too much detail.However, once you need to get to lower level work for real development this book cannot substitute for more specialised volumes.Overall recommended.dan

This is a must have!

If you are a VB programmer or a web developer, you have to buy this book. this book goes into great details on the stuff we want to learn. it does leave out stuff we almost never use... but it goes to the point. it has sample applications (including a web application) and the CD is extremely helpful. I've bought 3 other books like this from wrox and sams, and this book excels those. buy this today, you won't regret it.

I found this book extremely helpful

Despite what the other reviewers think, i found this book to be extremely focused and valuable. If you are beginner/intermediate VB programmer wanting to learn how to build database applications, this is a great place to start. Provided you want to use ADO (the current technology) and either SQL Server or Access. I learnt a lot, and completed an application i was struggling with confidently and quickly after reading this. Its very practical and very focused. I enjoyed it. It was not difficult to read and I think its a great introduction if you want to actually build an application. I felt like writing to the author to say thanks, but the email bounced!
