What will be the best e-book to buy if i want to start learning Visual Basic and SQL from the scratch?
Posted Thursday, February 4, 2010 by admin
I have no experience in programming in any kind of language at all. In fact i am a total newbie to the programming world. Lets just say i know the intermediates of computers, the very basics of the servers, and none about programming.
So i want to learn programming, typically database management. So what book would you recommend.
P.S: I am not attending any courses or training to anywhere else, its just me by myself. Please help!
id recomend going to the library, easier to read, and they uusally have a cd u can see and use examples for help…
and its free….
as for wat kind, the 24 hours, or 1 day, or dummy books r usally good =)
If you have no experience in (or knowledge of) programming, start here: Learning a language won’t help you if you don’t know how to write programs. (You already know English – can you write a program in it? Any programmer can.)
I hope this doesn’t come off as insulting, but I really like the For Dummies series. They make it easy to learn (as opposed to other “teaching” books, which always seem to assume that you have some programming experience). For Visual Basic, there’s Visual Basic for Dummies (the author’s official page is here:) and there’s also SQL for Dummies. The For Dummies Series has an official web site here:
For SQL, try SQL Exercises:
You can choose among these books here, any of these can help you:
