I am planning to take more programming classes after this and was happy with the added supplements. I understand why I have to scratch some code off to access online resources since this is the way the author can make some money since most people resell the book. It was fun to do the examples because it did pertain to real life, and the book has tons of pictures to understand the material.The only disappointment I had was the packaging was not adequate. I do not know who to blame my Carrier or Amazon. This book is way to big to put in cardboard cutouts instead of a box. As a result of this poor packaging it did make a huge dent by the cover, and ultimately does hurt the resale value of the book. I do blame Amazon I paid for Standard shipping to get this on time, so it is there fault I expect them to put this in a box if I pay for something.I did review the packaging as poorly either they ignored my comments or didn't care since I didn't get a response, so I do blame Amazon this wasn't the first time this happened ordering something either.I do take care of my books and was planning to resell this book. Now when the Semester is over I will just resell it online for Amazon Credit instead. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written book, but not all of the promised Student Resources are available *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 20, 2013* This book is very well written and covers a lot of material. The on-hands exercises are extremely useful for writing VB code. If you were looking into learning VB on your spare time, this book would get you started. With that said, I'm new to programming and the professor I currently knows their stuff and they make the course challenging. This is a good thing, however when it comes time to taking takes, being tested for 4 chapters at a time is a lot to take in.The main reason why the instructor chose this book was because of the Student Resources the book says they offer. The video notes are great, but when you advertise a product that the student has access to Self-study test, they should have it. My professor is tough and I'm struggling a little. I went to the Student Resources for my book and the Self-study test does not even exist on the site. I Called Customer Support at Pearson and they stated they would "investigate". Just a little disappointed that the Self-study test is not available, I'm sure this particular resource would have helped identify my comprehension of the chapters and doing better on my test taking. ### ⭐⭐⭐ To somone already with programming knowledge: useful if you don't want to pay for a haircut (you'll pull it out before long) *by G***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2014* This book will very carefully detail EVERY SINGLE PROCESS you need to learn to use for Visual Studio.And I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE.This is your standard textbook experience, and you will get real tired of it, real quick.As a reference, it's not bad, but it is by no means an easy read. Some chapters are up to 100 pages in length, and there is a tremendous amount of examples. Samples of how to use Visual Studio itself can go on for anywhere from 1/2 to 3 full pages. Some of the example problems can go on for over 10 pages.As I have the Kindle version, it's a real side-scroller (trust me; you will spend just as much time scrolling over content as reading other content). If VB is NOT your first programming language[, and this is not required by your course], may I point you to the search bar, where you might like to try something like "Visual Basic for Dummies", and then collect yourself the newest edition of that instead?However, if VB is your first programming language, this might help you out. But, this book is written EXACTLY as you'd expect a textbook to be, and it has an EXTREMELY slow learning curve. --- ## 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.at/products/3346396-starting-out-with-visual-basic-2012-6th-edition](https://www.desertcart.at/products/3346396-starting-out-with-visual-basic-2012-6th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
