Customer Reviews

A slightly different approach may help some learners

Author Jeff Kent declares that he hopes he brings a different perspective to his books: a perspective that goes straight to the core concepts of Visual Basic that are explained in logical order. He largely succeeds in doing this, though the approach may be a bit disconcerting to those accustomed to other programming instruction manuals. Kent is a clear, concise writer. He teaches by example. The book is adequately, though not profusely, illustrated. He covers all the major topics of programming in Visual Basic, though he does not profess to cover any of them in extraordinary depth. The disconcerting part is the order Kent approaches his subjects in. Menus are left until late in the game as are the mechanics of file access. Personally - and it is entirely a personal view - I think these subjects should be addressed earlier. However, Kent claims his experience as an instructor leads him to conclude otherwise. As I said, it's a personal view I think. Overall, a pretty good introduction to Visual Basic 2005. Jerry
