Re: Good book for an absolute beginner on VB.net or 2005 with database

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

A friend of mine had this book so I took a look. I didnt like the style
of writting and found he talked down to readers as if he thought
himself somehow superior. My friend told me that a lot of the code in
the book didnt work.

While classes would be good, if he's not willing to do that,
he should really check out Tim Patrick's "Start-to-Finish
Visual Basic 2005". He actually starts with pretty basic
stuff, even explaining data types and subroutines and
functions and loops, etc., before moving on to data access
and forms, and so on.

weight gain 2000,

Are you an experienced database programmer but an absolute
beginner with the particular tool, VB2005?

Or have you never written a line of code in any language?

Kerry Moorman

The person I'm willing to buy this book for has absolutely no
programming experience (well, maybe he did a bit of fortran as
part of his undergraduate courses but I consider this no
experience at all, and he admits not remembering anything at
all). He just wants to learn an easy way to program database
stuff (hence VB 2005 + databases)...

So, I'm looking for a good introductory book for him.

If your experience suggests something else, feel free to correct
me
