ArcObjects Developer's Guide

Rating:
Summary: Learning ArcGIS programming
Review: This book provides an excellent introduction to programming ArcObjects with VB. I had very little programming experience, but found the book explained the subjects very well. The exercises were easy to follow and quickly allowed me to pick up most of the basic principles. The book is well laid out allowing you to work through the sections that you are most interested in whether that be customising the user interface, working with macro's or programming an application with Visual Basic. The mix of theory, examples and excerises is well thought out, giving a balanced book that is easy to read. I thought it was well worth the money for an introductory level, although it doesn't contain the details needed for more advanced programming.
