Not what I was expecting:
I was expecting a more detailed book on VS 2005, but it wasn't. However some people might find this book useful.
Very Pleased:
I received this book within a few days and the book was in great shape. Nice job.
Lame:
Too much of this book has no depth and is repeating what is written on the screen.
Money Better Spent:
Try as hard as I can, I cannot find a purpose in this book other than for the authors to make some money. It barely touches on the options in VS2005 without any concrete direction or in-depth description of why to use the features. I have found that the VB2005 book I purchased at the same time as this ("Visual Basic 2005 : The Language") provided much better coverage than this book
I would NOT reccommend this book to anyone. You would find a much more effective use of your money by buying the above... more info
