Visual Basic 2012 Programmer's Reference

I broke my rule about not buying reference books in Kindle format in this case.Even in Kindle format I'm getting good value from this book and the explanations are far above the average for a programming book. If you have a serious use for a VB 2012 book, this book will probably be of good use for you.

As a quick reminder of syntax, it works very well. I found it useful to implement functionality in a new -- to me -- language.

I have been using other versions of basic for years. This was fairly good at getting me into a very different version.

Great Visual Basic 2012 programmer's reference book. If you are programming with VB 2012, you will find it very useful.

Has done the job of letting me renew my proficiency with Visual Basic. I have used it and not ignored it.

Well written, clear examples, well explained.Excellent support to got from VB6 to .Net.

good reference

The VB Programmer's Reference provides details that help to clarify many of the programming nuances found in the IDE and language.

I purchased this book because I am a freelance software developer and my main language of choice is VB.NET. The author knows programming very well, and the tutorials are well structured and explained in very simple terms. It is perfect for anyone starting out with VB.NET or who want to update their knowledge.I just think the book is missing some important aspects of Visual Basic though. I really wanted a quick introduction into Encryption using VB.NET, but this book doesn't seem to cover any encryption fundamentals at all. But I do understand this as encryption is a huge topic.But either way, if you want to get into VB.NET or you already know VB.NET well, this book is very useful. I often just flick through when I am trying to do something but not sure on the best method.Definitely worth it for the price.

A useful very detailed guide to Visual Basic. It is very useful reference as I find my way round what is a new computer language to me. I would certainly recommend it to others wishing to add to the computer languages with which they are already familiar. I would not recommend it for a novice programmer.

Rod Stevens is great at simplifying thingsi have severall books by him hard to find authur you understand finally found one great job

Very light book far more detail required for a reference manual, to be quite honest better off using Wrox 3.5 reference manual.

A very good update to a solid series with some superb tips. I need eight more words so I'll stop.
