Product Description
Covers VisualStudio.Net This book/CD-ROM package explores a different approach to learning Visual Basic 6 & VisualStudio.net than most programming books on the market: it introduces practical applications that the reader can follow, e.g. developing an MP3 player, compression techniques, and playing multimedia files. Each chapter focuses on developing a complete application. The chapters begin with general information about the application, followed by its complete source code. Rather than just read theories, the reader writes applications and then learns how they work. The practical applications from each chapter can be used immediately, so the rewards of learning are quick and extensive. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing the reader to ?skip? to specific topics of interest. Secondary topics include 3D Graphics, the Internet, and file formats.

interesting but lacks substance March 27, 2002
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
with 16 separate projects and only 277 pages of text relating to those projects (the remainder of the 440 pages contains an assortment of appendixes), you can guess that there's not a lot of meat to any of these projects. while the projects are interesting and serve as a jumping off point for further self-discovery you don't get the feeling that you've really learned much about any of the subjects by reading the book. the author basically gives you a couple of pages of high level overview and then dumps out the source code for the project. i would have preferred half the number of projects and a more indepth discussion of the issues and considerations surrounding each of the projects.
