What others have been saying about our Visual Basic & Databases Books and Tutorials:
“I just want to thank you for the many tutorials that I have ordered from your company over the past decade. Your tutorials have been instrumental in allowing me, a secondary school teacher in Ontario, to learn what I need to know in order to conduct my own High School Computer Science Classes in Visual Basic and Visual C#. I thank you, and urge you to keep up the excellent work. It has been instrumental in helping me learn and grow as a teacher.”
“Visual Basic and Databases was well organized and the various projects that I had to create in order to learn the material was exhaustive and intensive (which is good!). The course was fun, entertaining and rewarding.”
“The Visual Basic & Databases Tutorial was the best tutorial and samples I found to use Visual Basic”
“I really enjoyed the Visual Basic & Databases tutorial, the database connection examples really helped me.”
“As someone who has always struggled trying to use Visual Basic with databases – this book is my savior! I LOVE the fact that it gives COMPLETE code examples for both Access and Sequel Server. I am also trying to learn how to build good databases and am currently using Access 2013 as my tool, so the Access examples are a huge plus for me. I did hit one small snag though. I am saving my Access databases in “.accdb” format. This required 2 small steps to use this file format: Downloading the small Access database engine, and using “Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0″ as the Provider in the connection string. That info is not given in the section on connection strings. However, the correct info is given to use the .mdb file format. Visual Studio Data Wizard? Never again! The book gives you a quick walk through using the wizard but doesn’t use it in the book. You will never learn how to program with databases, strictly relying on the wizard to do the work for you. This is where I went completely wrong – looking for the easy way. Fortunately, the authors explain everything you need to know to do the coding yourself – and everything is explained at a level that is extremely easy to understand. Queries, reporting, database management, design, distribution, and more – it’s ALL there! So, as a beginner programmer who could never grasp the fundamentals to actually writing the code for database programming, I can honestly say that, for me, this book was worth every penny!”
“I have to congratulate you on your excellent and very professionally written tutorial [VISUAL BASIC AND DATABASES]. It is very clear, concise and to the point. Well done – it is money well spent.”

I had spent hours searching for information, trying something out, cussing when it didn’t work, and then repeating the cycle. That alone was worth the price of the course.”
