THE BEST!!!
This book, I feel, is the greatest QBASIC tutorial/reference ever written. It is definitely considered to me a sequel to all the other QBASIC books on the market, in that it seems to take you not only one, but many more steps ahead. I have been looking for a book with even just a little bit of advanced graphics and sound programming. Buying this book got all that and tons more. I pity all ...

Fantastic capsule HTML book!
Of course, this is dated already, but if you are doing plain vanilla HTML, this is the most perfect HTML guide I've come across, and I have many. Even 3 years after it was published, when I need to look something up, this is the book that comes off the shelf first, and usually the only book that needs t come off the shelf. Which is amazing, considering how small the thing is, too. It's not the ...

Still a very usefull book
Although Microsoft has moved on to VB.net, many developers are still using VB6. It has become increasingly hard to find VB6 XML info on, say, MSDN, so a book like this is essential. The code examples are clear and practical. The book manages to work well both as a how-to and a reference. If I were to nitpick, there are two things would mention. First, because of when the book was published, it ...

The BEST book for classical ASP
Obsolete??? Hardly. As I write this review, new Web page technologies are being matured: jsp, php, chm (yech). New models are being matured: Servlets, STRUTS, .NET. Classical ASP 3.0 is still quick, fast and necessary for small to medium businesses, even enterprise-level webpages. There's no better book to learn all the standards, applications, basics, and advanced capabilities of ASP than THIS ...

Very informative and complete
I am astounded at the vicious, even obscene references to this book! One reviewer was using the book (according to him, "defacing the book") in a class, so this may account for the resentment towards the work and its authors. (It is interesting to see that when I reported the obscene reviews to Amazon, they removed them almost immediately. Impressive!) In any case, the book is covering a ...

Great XML Reference Book.
Other than the fact that you can tell that the book was written by 5 different guys because of the the difference in writing styles between chapters, overall it is packed full of information and a handy reference.

I Love It
As an intermediate-level Java programmer, this book has helped me tremendously. Reading it from front to back like a novel, I was able to immediately apply almost every lesson learned. Brett Spell has a wonderfully readable writing style and does a fantastic job of explaining a wide array of sticky topics that apply to almost every Java programmer. The book's diagrams and example code are also ...
The Beginner's Guide to Visual Basic 4.0 (Beginner's Guides)

ah... I am a little too late
This review is a little too late because VB4 has long been sent to oblivion by all the developers. But this is really a great book for beginners to learn VB. Very few books touches DAO (of course, it is obsolete nowadays, but sometimes it is still good for building Access frontends). I think the only thing that VB4 does not serve well is in terms of building user's own classes. But that is ...

Learn to Create Dynamic Graphics
One of my first .NET ah-hah experiences back in 2001 was creating an .aspx file that I could reference as a graphic (!). The .aspx file received two query parameters which informed it of the file name of the jpg and the width that the returned image was supposed to be. So then in an IMG tag, I would simply put src="ShowPicture.aspx?file=product1343.jpg&width=100" and it would display a thumbnail ...

Excellent book - Needs updated code samples and J2EE 1.4 support
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, particularly well-thought out design guidelines for developing J2EE application with or without EJB. The author introduced several best practices particularly the concepts and usage of Spring and Hibernate based j2ee development is quite helpful. In addition to this book, I find patterns and bestpractices from "Core J2EE Patterns /Deepak Alur", "Core ...

Good book - I do not agree with the other reviewer
This book is not for a newbie as all J# programmers have background in Java or J++. J# systax is similar to Java (or J++), and the authors have nicely pointed out where J# is different from Java, and they seem to be very knolwdgeable on the subject matter. J# can be fully utilized if one has a copy of a good C# book because you can convert C# code to J# code line by line (need to be careful ...

Most excellent
It is a very useful book if you already have some experience with ATL and COM but have some questions about those technologies unanswered. The author gives an excellent explanation of almost any aspect of ATL yet assumes the reader is not a complete newbie. The chapters on Object Wizard and on Threading and Marshalling are particularly useful. In combination with PROFESSIONAL COM APPLICATIONS ...
Beginning GTK+ and GNOME

Well written and diverse
This book is very easy to read thanks mainly to the author but also to a nice font and layout. The examples are very helpful and cover a broad range of areas within GTK and GNOME programming. Bottom line would be the quality of writing and the diverse coverage. I have 5 GTK/GNOME books, and I like this one the best.

A very friendly & quick learning experience
XML and XML Web Services are hot subjects, I should know having technically reviewed many books on them and also this book. So a book that tells the XML & Web services stories from a VB.NET perspective has got to be hot property - and this book is just that! Content varies from using VB.NET to enumerate an XML document to developing Binary & SOAP Serialisation class's - there is no "kiddie" ...

Best overall SQL 2000 book
By far, this is the best overall MS SQL 2000 server book written until today. Most topics are covered from basic to advance level. This book is a must have for anyone who is looking to get a well rounded knowledge of what's possible with MS SQL 2000. The chapters I liked the most are: Ch9 SQL Server Storage and Index Structures Ch10 Views Ch12 Stored Procedures Ch15 Triggers Ch16 ...

Recommended for Oracle developers
As an Oracle developer, I found this book very helpful in my day-to-day chores. It is divided into four main sections, which I discuss further below. The first section is a Java tutorial, for the Oracle developer. Having dealt a little with Java before, I found little new in this section. A word of caution, though: this book assumes some familiarity with PL/SQL (while no assumptions are made of ...
Professional SQL Server Development with Access 2000

Outstanding resource for making the transition to SQL Server
By far the best book I have seen regarding the difficulties encountered when moving an Access application to SQL Server. Until reading this book, I couldn't figure out why my Access queries that were 'converted' into Stored Procedures could not reference each other, why my forms would not work, why the tables weren't updateable (primary keys weren't copied during conversion), etc. All these ...

A good programming course in VBA
There does not seem to be a good book on VBA written, but this book is the best of a bad lot. If you have no programming or computer science background at all, then this book would be considered an intermediate text and you may wish to try one of the SAMS learning series books instead. However, if you have any background in programming, this book will help you acquire the nuances of using ...
