Summary: Excellent introduction to SQL Server 2000 for VB Developers
Comment: This is an excellent introduction to SQL Server 2000 for Visual Basic 6.0 developers. I used this book and Robert Vieira's Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming (Also by Wrox) to study for the Designing and Implementing Databases using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 exam (70-229). The 2 chapters on XML were especially good. Thearon does his best work when he works solo and this book is one of his best. I have his SQL Server 7 book and both books are well-written. I really like the "Hardware Tracking" tutorial that he follows for most of the book. This tutorial will also help with your Visual Basic skills. I have learned several new VB tricks just by following along. I hope that Thearon writes a Beginning SQL Server 2000 for Visual Basic.Net Developers.

Summary: Excellent SQL Server 2000 Learning Tool
Comment: I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer and Trainer (MCSE/MCT). I've been teaching SQL Server administration and Visual Basic programming for quite some time. I recently took a look at this new book from WROX and am very impressed. Thearon Willis does a great job of taking your through a learning adventure in SQL Server 2000. Very well written. Great exercises. Keeps your interest all the way through!

Summary: OK for starters, but 33 percent irrelevant
Comment: OK for beginners who want to know some of the innards of SQL server, but there are two major faults. One is that newbies to networkable machines will find themselves crushed under the weight of networking and communications jargon that the author never explains, and Win98 machines can't handle half of the book. Second, the last third of the book for some 200 pages has nothing to do with VB: the samples are written entirely in XML, DHTML, and a mere snippet of VBScript. There are better VB tools for creating Web apps that can handle big datasets and ActiveX, whereas XML has enfuriatingly slow performance and an unattractive and inflexible interface that looks like something pounded out on a typewriter (remember those?). 5 stars for the first two-thirds, zilch for the remainder.
