Title: Good Concept, Bad Implementation
Review: I bought this book because it was the only one that actually seemed to tell me where to start. I have LOTS of experience in programming with procedural languages but was bewildered by an environment where snippets of code are attached to one control but need to reference some other control. I found this book helpful because it began at the very beginning and worked through the basic concepts quickly. HOWEVER, I don't know that I can recommend the book. It is for the absolute beginner in sense that it goes into very little depth but someone with little programming experience probably will not get much out of it. Compounding the problem is the fact that there are a lot of errors. With my experience, I could tell when something was an error but it could be confusing to a newbie. This book has value for the experienced procedural programmer with little event-driven experience but even for that audience it could have been much better.
