Didn't read the book, but don't need to

Professor Smiley writes books (and teaches courses) which are designed to bridge the gap between the layperson and the professional (degreed) programmer. I orginally read (and used) his LTP for Visual Basic, and was able to parlay the knowledge he provided into a management position at a top F500 company.

Now, I had a lot of previous knowledge of databases and excel to go along with what the course provided, but the book(s) provide a great resource for any level of anyone desiring technical programming knowledge, I'm so impressed with the way Prof Smiley personalizes what can be a very difficult and abstract subject that I plan on taking more in-depth classes from him.

Best Regards,

Jim
