Learning Visual Basic Through Applications

Rating:
Summary: interesting but lacks substance
Review: with 16 separate projects and only 277 pages of text relating to those projects (the remainder of the 440 pages contains an assortment of appendixes), you can guess that there's not a lot of meat to any of these projects. while the projects are interesting and serve as a jumping off point for further self-discovery you don't get the feeling that you've really learned much about any of the subjects by reading the book. the author basically gives you a couple of pages of high level overview and then dumps out the source code for the project. i would have preferred half the number of projects and a more indepth discussion of the issues and considerations surrounding each of the projects.
