Good book for starters
I bought this book, as I wanted to write some simple VBScripts to help automating some laborious manual process for my job. This book is so easy to browse through and as I already have some knowledge of VB Programming and so I can easily browse through the chapters. Even for a beginner this is a good book to start with. I could start writing the scripts I wanted for my job and I like this book so ...

Beginning Programming

Wrox, 2005

Programming entry level
'Beginning Programming' is an entry level introduction to programming, about as dumbed down as it can possibly get - and that is what is so great about it. There are not many books targeting readers with absolutely no previous knowledge of programming, wanting to learn the very basics before moving on to an introduction course or book using one specific programming language. 'Beginning ...

Don't buy - an updated version exists!
A good introduction to the 'current' state of XML as of December 1998. Wrox press are about to publish an updated version of this book as 'Professional XML' in February 2000. The book is a bit frustrating at times since has to deal with matters that have not been finalised, and has constant references to sites where updated details can be found. This is probably the biggest stumbling block for ...

Wrox, 2006

Little Book - Big Disappointment
This book had huge potential from my point of view. For the cost I was expecting something akin to the other WROX titles "Visual Basic 2005, Programmer's Reference" and "Visual Basic 2005 Database Programming". The book starts out fine, covers the basics and then leaves the reader high and dry as far as a reference. The companion VB book has 1000+ pages, this book doesn't even make it to 400 ...

Very good, helpful book
This book is the first point of attack if I get a problem with my PC. I like the layout of the book - very easy to find what I need. Sensible advice. Calm presentation in a crisis - very helpful.

Still an Excellent Resource
I have just built my third PC and still find this book very useful. By now, I do not need to consult it every minute, but I did on my first build (about a year ago) and it was a total lifesaver then. Now it serves as a resource when I need to refresh my memory or when I want to "checklist" my build to make sure I have not forgotten something. The book is extremely well laid out and very easy ...

Que, 2001

Great for a beginner like me!
Hi I got this book since i have read by example books before and loved them.I really enjoyed this book too.This book is for beginners that know basically what programming is but don't actually know any language. The lessons are slow paced so you get it, with plenty of examples.The only complaint i might have is that the book has some typos in the code but i have figured them all out and corrected ...

PHP and MySQL @work: Projects and Techniques to Get the Job Done (@Work)
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, Kathie Kingsley-Hughes

Sams, 2008

Most books on creative applications describe how to use tools and make some reference to putting those tools into a real-world context. PHP and MySQL @work: Projects and Techniques to Get the Job Done breaks out of that mold by introducing key tools in a single chapter and then moving on to what you really want to know: how to complete projects. This book provides step-by-step coverage of how to complete a variety of projects that a panel of ...
