"Your Beginning Visual Basic .NET is by far the best book on the market for us beginners! Had I bought your book first, I would have saved myself lots of dollars and several months' time."
Bob Kaplan, Jr., Louisville, Kentucky
"I must say that this book
is a true gem and one of a kind in a sea of me-too books.
High praises."
Guy Barrette, Universal Thread Magazine
"Let's face it, most books are formula-driven as
far as formatting, presentation, etc. Murach's VB.NET
book takes a different tack in that it presents code samples,
very specific steps and how-to information on the right side,
with the narrative on the left side of a given set of two
pages. Very cool. You can use the book as a reference or as
a textbook - it's effective both ways. I rate it 5
stars."
Stephen Wynkoop,
SQL Server Worldwide Users Group
"A fellow programmer and I greatly admire this course. Your instructions were so direct and clearcut, and your chapters, exercises and examples were designed and organized so perfectly that a couple of mainframe (read 'linear') programmers, without any 'object-oriented' experience whatsoever, could feel that we have progressed to the point that we're unafraid of the new world of .Net and beyond. A truly brilliant teaching tool."
A mainframe programmer converting to Microsoft development
"This book did exactly what the authors claimed and taught me how to build business applications. With just this book, I built an application used by a school district to track applicants and substitute candidates. I also developed two web sites using ASP.NET after reading the basics in this book. Overall, I would rate it a 10 out of 10."
Chas Profitt, DevCity.net
"I want to congratulate you on one of the best written books I've seen in the last few years. I've gone through dozens of VB and VB.NET books trying to find one that is well-suited for an introductory programming class with a business orientation. They are all either a) too dry and complex, b) too cutesy with too many graphics, c) too code-oriented, d) organized in a chaotic fashion with no decent grouping of topics or parallelism, or e) two or more of the above. Your text, however, is EXACTLY how I'd write a text."
Keith Jefferies, Senior Instructor, Computers and Information Systems, UCLA Extension
"Just as Murach's beginner's guide to VB6 was truly the
best way to learn VB, so this book is worthy of being called the successor
to the throne. Murach has kept the best single innovation for beginners—paired
page formatting. Another cool thing about this book that sets it apart from
other 'for newbie' titles is that you actually learn how to write
business apps."
Robert Gelb, vbRad.com
"I have been searching for a practical book on helping me master VB.NET, and I have finally found it in your beginning book. I have 5 other VB.NET books that will now gather dust."
