Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2010 in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours) Review: Kindle edition great for training - I purchased the Kindle edition of this book and used it on my laptop next to the monitor on my desktop machine. But I am pretty sure that it will be easy to use on the same machine you are using to train with. I found that this works very well for computer training books. It actually works better than on my Kindle for training. Don't even bother to try it for a phone, there is not enough real estate on the screen. This book is very similar to the C# version of nearly the same title. It isn't going to get you very far as far as marketable skills, but it certainly will get you far enough to understand the basics, and it's not a bad platform to build on. As I haven't used VB since version 3.0, there were so many changes to learn that I needed this book. It turned out to be a very good buy, and a great price. Review: Perfect for Beginners - This book is perfect if you have no previous knowledge of programming in Visual Basic.net. I have a few books now on VB.net and have found this to be the easiest one to work through. The combination of theory and practical examples of code seem to be just about perfect for a beginner like me. I also have Visual Basic.Net by Jesse Liberty but I find this book the learning curve is to steep for me(although I am sure I will come back to this as I understand vb.net better). Whereas with James Foxalls Visual Basic.Net in 24 hrs I find I am learning at a pace that I can handle. I also like the code examples they are practical and generally fun. All in all this is a great book to start with. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0672331136 | | Best Sellers Rank | #6,485,630 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #289 in Visual Basic Programming (Books) #3,779 in Introductory & Beginning Programming #8,661 in Computer Programming Languages | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (107) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.5 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 9780672331138 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0672331138 | | Item Weight | 1.9 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Sams Teach Yourself | | Print length | 517 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2010 | | Publisher | Sams | ## Images ![Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2010 in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SG5+jpBpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kindle edition great for training *by A***R on November 20, 2010* I purchased the Kindle edition of this book and used it on my laptop next to the monitor on my desktop machine.

I have a few books now on VB.net and have found this to be the easiest one to work through. The combination of theory and practical examples of code seem to be just about perfect for a beginner like me.

For a true beginner, probably no book can work - too many gaps to be filled in with explanation. For the more experienced, but new to this programming paradigm, such a book could at times be too simplistic with many questions going unanswered. The author in this case has managed to strike a happy medium. Basically this book is intended for one to get one's feet wet in the VB 2010 environment, while learning the rudiments of useful aspects of VB as it relates to constructing user interfaces and accessing files and the registry. It is well written, proceeding in a step-by-step fashion. For the total novice, going through the steps may not be all that helpful. I had to get nearly to the end of the book in HOUR 21 to find a mistake where the author mixed up "previous" and "next" controls in a database example. But there is some glaring lack of information. For example, the author does not attempt to explain the various files in a VB project and how they should be found in a file structure. That is pretty basic information that detracts from the book for the more knowledgeable. One cannot truly "understand" VB 2010 from this book. VB was first designed because of its ease of use, but under the covers, VB .Net is extremely complicated. Just the class structures alone are bewildering. The trick is can one take a book like this, which really is quite simple, and ramp one's self up to a point where the full power of VB can be used. It should also be noted that if one really works through all of the examples from scratch, most of the chapters take a few hours, give or take - definitely not one hour. All in all it is a worthwhile book with the noted caveats. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3649766-sams-teach-yourself-visual-basic-2010-in-24-hours-sams](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3649766-sams-teach-yourself-visual-basic-2010-in-24-hours-sams) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
