The book has been an excellent read! I'm halfway through it and I have already changed one of my kiosk apps to use visual inheritance. It's a great book. I'm look forward to finishing and applying it.
Jeff's too modest. His book is a good place to start. If you want to start creating e-Learning content using a page scripting language then you have a huge amount of work to do. Jeff's book doesn't have the solutions to all these things but it does solve some of the initial time wasting challenges and point you in a sensible direction. So, to sum up, Jeff's book may not be all you need but it will get you started and, unlike the Java route, you can always hassle Platte for help.
I purchased your book VBTrain.Net last week. I am very impressed after going through it this week. I will be passing and recommending your book to others.
Just wanted to thank you again for the book!! I have already been reading it. You have a very effective style for presenting concepts, and your writing is very readable and easy to follow. In my experience, that is rarely found in technical books. My congratulation on an excellent book!!
I very much enjoyed your style of writing and found it a very good introduction (with enough depth to satisfy most advanced-but-new-to-VB readers while being clear enough for those with less experience). Your enthusiasm for the product (and creating training materials) is clear throughout and this is always important in getting this type of material across to your readership. Put in brief, in modern British English, "Nice one mate!"
