Wrox's Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Starter Kit (Programmer to Programmer) Review by W. Markuly
Kind of confusing for a beginner.
I bought this book because of the CD containing the compiler and SQL server since it took too long to download the free version with my dialup connection. It started off OK, and I was easily able to set everything up. Then I wrote the usual `Hello World' program which proved the installation was OK.
However Chapter 2, with the complex web based starter kit kind of threw me. I followed directions and downloaded the web enabled version but by this time I decided to skip the entire chapter and get on with learning to code.
There wasn't enough information on using the IDE. I couldn't find anything on how to rename a project or to delete one using the IDE. Also, I wish the instructions gave name to each project and gave some information on how to organize all the stuff you write.
I finally came to this site and purchased two more books on VB which I hope to use to actually learn to program.
