Featured Customer Reviews Yes and No,
June 08, 2007 The demo was informative except that it uses an old version of Visual Studio and his screen was very small so he had to be constantly moving, opening, and closing windows. The transitions were annoying. There are pdf' of the lectures.
When I copied the demo projects to my computer. None of them would run or even open in Visual Studio 2005 and none could be converted. The email address on the DVD is a dead link. I did a search and found his website. I sent him an email to ask what the problem was, which he ignored. Adequate. It is what it is...,
August 03, 2005 This is not the best production and the presentation is, as another reviewer put it, "City College". But, it is what it is...an inexpensive DVD training course that exposes you to all the basics. Its exactly what I needed as an experienced VB developer to get into VB.NET database access.
If you are shallow and cannot look past the presentation for the content provided then this DVD is not for you. If you can sift through the minor inconsistancies and meandering presentation style, which most of us do on a daily basis with users and business analysts, then snap this baby up.
(...) Good for Getting Started with VB.NET/ADO.NET,
April 03, 2004 I am an experienced Access developer, who is just starting out with this .NET stuff. This DVD was great for me. It built on my knowledge of Access database programming with VBA as it helped me to grasp VB.NET, ADO.NET, and even SQL Server. It helped me to understand SQL Server because many of the samples were coded for both Access and SQL Server. Therefore, I could see the changes necessary for me to code a solution for either database manager.I find learning from this DVD published by DV Press very enjoyable. I purchased Rick Dobson's other DVD too, which is better from video production and presentation perspectives. However, this DVD, just like the second one from DV Press, provides lots of useful information in a format that's easy to understand. If you absorb material best from video presentations, you are bound to find this DVD more helpful than the hundreds books on VB.NET and ADO.NET. Could be better,
March 27, 2004 I guess you get what you pay for, it was a bit borring for me to watch the lessons. It's reminding me of my Phylosophy class in HS. Concept Great,... Could Be Better,
March 10, 2004 The concept of watching a DVD for a technical book is great. The DVDs consist of a lecture style, with Power Point presentation and some on-screen demos. I was disappointed because it does feel as if a developer sat down in front of a video camera and did a 1 tape shoot. Still, I love this concept and would like to have seen more time taken with each lesson. But, I am a visual leaner, so I appreciate having a DVD option.
