Visual Basic Evangelism
This book is written with the beginner Visual Basic developer in mind. If you are already an experienced VB developer, but know nothing about HMI systems, it is also a useful resource. It is the only book I have run across that addresses developing industrial applications using non-proprietary software. It's a life-saver if you are interested in developing a low-cost, low-maintenance HMI or SCADA application for your factory environment. It provides step-by-step instructions for connecting an HMI front-end to a PLC. If you are new to Visual Basic or interested in learning VB and specifically how it applies to an industrial application, I would highly recommend adding this book to your reference material. If you want to further your education in this area, I would also recommend contacting the author to schedule on-site training.

For wealthy beginers only
I found this book too simplistic and way overpriced. It provided little information that could not be found for free on the internet. Furthermore, references are made to specific products, which means that the programs can not be run without downloading (or buying) the demos (some of which are severly limited). It doesn't even have an index!

A Good Book
This book was written for a specific audience. If you are familiar with field devices and are moving into VB and the interface side of things, then this is the book for you. If you already know VB, then you will pick up a few things but not enough to justify the price. All in all, a good book, possibly a great one, depending, of course, on where you are coming from.
