Summary: MCP/MCDBA REVIEW
Review: Greetings fellow developers, This DVD is the single best source I have found for learning .Net-related technologies. Based on the quality of this DVD's content, I plan on purchasing several of DVPress's upcoming titles. After viewing this program, I realized that DVPress may be effectivly on their way to replacing the developer's racks of programming books with DVD cases! The DVD has been designed to serve both as a full-length course as well as a reference for later on. I would prefer to carry around ten DVDs than ten 500-page books! Rock on DVPress, your products will no doubt better my career as a developer for now and hopefully as a architect/project manager later on! Sincerely,
Derek Comingore

Summary: Good for Getting Started with VB.NET/ADO.NET
Review: I am an experienced Access developer, who is just starting out with this .NET stuff. This DVD was great for me. It built on my knowledge of Access database programming with VBA as it helped me to grasp VB.NET, ADO.NET, and even SQL Server. It helped me to understand SQL Server because many of the samples were coded for both Access and SQL Server. Therefore, I could see the changes necessary for me to code a solution for either database manager. I find learning from this DVD published by DV Press very enjoyable. I purchased Rick Dobson's other DVD too, which is better from video production and presentation perspectives. However, this DVD, just like the second one from DV Press, provides lots of useful information in a format that's easy to understand. If you absorb material best from video presentations, you are bound to find this DVD more helpful than the hundreds books on VB.NET and ADO.NET.

Summary: Could be better
Review: I guess you get what you pay for, it was a bit borring for me to watch the lessons. It's reminding me of my Phylosophy class in HS.

Summary: Concept Great,... Could Be Better
Review: The concept of watching a DVD for a technical book is great. The DVDs consist of a lecture style, with Power Point presentation and some on-screen demos. I was disappointed because it does feel as if a developer sat down in front of a video camera and did a 1 tape shoot. Still, I love this concept and would like to have seen more time taken with each lesson. But, I am a visual leaner, so I appreciate having a DVD option.

Summary: DVD Training - I love it!
Review: This is really happening. Now I have a DVD instead of 600 pages long book. It's well organized so that you can jump from chapter to chapter with only one click. Great feature when you are using DVD as a reference. It's like having a private leassons with your own personal expert. Rick Dobson's style of teaching is clear and simple. After you go through all the leasons you will be able to understand and use VB.NET and ADO.NET in real world applications. I have read more then a few books on this topic but when you have somebody speaking to you and explaining it like he is here... that's something different. I learned more from this DVD then from any other book. My favorite sections of this DVD are labs where you can test everything you learned. Chapters Every chapter begins with a few Power Point slides where Rick gives you some basic facts about what you'll learn. Then he explains everything you need to know and after that you go in a "code mode" where he explains everything you learned in code. He will guide you through the code and explain everything you need to know in order to build the aplication on your own. Way to go DV Press! I'm expecting more titles in DVD format and as good as this one.
