[EX Q]: Awful book on its own for complete beginner . I wanted to teach my son to program and chose VB and this book.  This book really "looks" great but I'm not impressed by the content. So much so that it compelled me to write my first ever book review.    The introduction "Who Is This Book For?" gives a sense that this book can get people into programming.   I would be amazed however if anyone not familiar with programming will get past Chapter 1 without being frightened by the whole prospect of programming.  Chapter 1 initially jumps into some Microsoft marketing of .Net which really adds nothing but confuses the readers by having to deal with line after line of computer jargon.  Then the chapter gives a horrible overview of Object Orientation which again doesn't help later.    I feel the whole book is like the first chapter. Doesn't give you some of the basics but rambles about more complex stuff you don't need between some hands on practical stuff.     I actually thought the first example was really poor also.  I am of the opinion that someone typing something in themselves and seeing it work should be rewarding.  The example however was hard for a novice as it had long lines of comments and the line to print the variables was a minefield of quotes and symbols making it pretty likely that a beginner would do a typo.      The title of the book is "Build a Program Now!".  This the book does and given how complex setting up an environment it is helpful.  But I've slammed the rating of this book because this could have covered with a lot less pages and maybe substitute some of the drivel with a little about the syntax of VB or even some explanation of the example code.    DON'T buy this book if you think it will teach you anything about computing or programming.    DO buy this book if you have some other teaching reference for Visual Basic and want something that will help you setup your build environment.  Also comes with a VB Express CD so you don't have to downloaded it.
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: The Best . 'nuff said.  It's simply the best book you could read if you own an aircooled VW.  Read it cover to cover, follow it's advice and you have a good headstart on being a great owner
[EX A]: POS

[EX Q]: It's good...Even for men . I know this may sound weird in light of the fact that Powter has been labeled fem-nazi and the like, but she has a new male convert in me due to the Sober and Staying That Way.  It completely changed my view of her. I read the book non-stop from front to back.  I immediately identified with the sugar/caffeine cravings whenever I tried to stop drinking.  I knew/know from personal experience that eating/being healthy really helps me not drink.  And I readily identified with her observations about current recovery programs.  I was in some shock over the connections she makes between the government and big business, but that was naive on my part.  This book really simulated a response from me on many levels.  It may have saved my life and possibly my marriage
