Summary: The examples confused me
Comment: I bought Visual Interdev 6 for Dummies because I wanted a quick tutorial aimed at someone with no previous exposure to Interdev. I was looking for something that would walk me through all aspects of the program in a way that was easy to understand. Unfortunately, this book didn't meet my expectations at all. The first few chapters gave an adequate overview of the layout of the various windows, menu bars, etc., but as soon as the book progressed into work samples I started feeling lost. The progression of the sections didn't seem to flow together in a logical way, and the practice scripts and projects were sometimes poorly explained. By the time I reached Chapter 10 or so I was feeling like a total imbecile for not understanding the examples. I finally gave up on it and bought Practical Visual InterDev 6 by Michael Amundsen, which has exactly what I wanted--clear, concise, step-by-step examples. I breezed through the whole book and now feel like an Interdev pro! And I wish I had never bought Visual Interdev for 6 for Dummies...it was a waste of my money and time.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: I own several VID 6 books and this one answered many questions the others didn't. It was easy to understand and I would highly recommend to anyone. The book doesn't cover everything; however, it covers the most common tools you need to get the job done. Wonderful book!

Summary: If you learn by doing, this book is not for you.
Comment: I like books that teach by working through a sample project. The best of these types of books will give you the basic aspects of programming to get you up and running. This book is bits and pieces of Visual Interdev, but just when you think you're off and running it stops short, which is my take on the whole book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Complete lack of substance
Comment: If this book is the best of the "Dummies" series, then I know to steer clear of these books. The book provides few examples where the user is walked through a project from start to finish. The author merely explains aspects of the project as he sees fit.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not very detailed-dummies series I guess
Comment: You have to have VID enterprise edition if you want to hop on database stuff. That is one thing. The other is that author does not give full and detailed explanations of his doings-global.asa file is not always created by itself but rather you have to go into ODBC to set it up!!! Other than that it has some BASIC intro to ASP. These Dummies books do not offer much for 30 bucks. They worth barely 20, that is why I order them through Amazon.
