Title: How to become a professional debugger in 9 hours or less.
Review: Well I first became interested in VB after seeing what could be done in a short amount of time as compared to other languages such as C/C++ (which I have studied for about 2 years). The book starts off like any other book, however it gets worse as it goes on. The first couple chapters (1-8) are decent, showing you code, explaining things, and having you actually do some of the projects. In chapter 9 however things start to change. Errors in his code start to become annoying and your projects won't compile. Later in chapter 11 he begins talking about subjects such as the Timer Control and provides no code to show you how to interact with it. After chapter 11 the author just seemed to loose his esteem and eventually lost mine too. I also wouldn't recommend buying the Teach your VB in 21 Days book either as it is written by the same author.
Is the review positive or negative?
