Effective ADO

Rating:
Summary: Good course, but overpriced
Review: ... it's overpriced. Throughtout the course I came across several one line facts regarding ADO that cleared up many questions that I haven't found answers to elsewhere, but for the cost of the product, I would have liked more of those little gems.

Overall, a good course that I learned from, but at a higher price than I thought was worth.

Summary: Do you want to learn ADO?
Review: This is one of the best training materials I've seen for ADO. You sit and watch video CDs in your computer. You'll find everything you need to know about ADO from a beginners level to the most advance level. The course is divided in the following sections: 1) SQL Language and Data Types 2) Core ADO Classes 3) Advance Recordset Techniques and 4) N-Tier Programming. Once your done with the course, you'll keep this book as a reference book. The course comes with 2 videoCDs and a lab workbook.

Summary: I absolutely love this course!
Review: This training course is an excellent way to learn ADO on the go or where ever you are. And there's nothing better than just sitting there watching the Video CD's. It's real easy to go through hours of training with a Video CD compared to a regular book which isn't very exciting. The course covers all the basics plus JOINS, Functions, Stored Procs, Parameterized Queries, Disconnected Recordsets and Performance Issues including how to debug your Stored Procs. It's well worth the money and is a great reference tool when you need a quick refresher.
