Murach's ADO.NET 2.0 Database Programming with VB 2005 Murach publishing has released another tome: "Murach's ADO.NET 2.0 Database Programming with VB 2005" (written by Anne Boehm). ADO.NET can be a huge and daunting topic to cover, but this book rises to the challenge, discussing everything from use of the base ADO objects to typed vs. untyped datasets, disconected data, and most importantly: object data sources. Beginners and experts alike will get a lot of mileage from this one, especially because it includes a lot of the "new-to-2005" topics that many developers might not be immediately exposed to in their real world programming lives. In classic Murach style, every two pages in the book repeats the contents twice; the left-hand page is a detailed description of the concept being covered written in a conversational tone, and the right-hand page contains a recap of this discussion in bulleted-form, with screenshots and / or code samples. This layout is ideal for both novice and expert readers alike; beginners learn faster when a concept is restated / repeated, and experts can skim through the right-hand pages looking for content that is new to them. |
