I would recommend that next time the author includes multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter so that computer training centers can use the book as a course material for imparting training for their students.  However, the author has provided exercises at the end of each chapter and I think it will be of great benefit to students.  I feel that a CD along with the Express Edition of Visual Basic 2005 and the relevant code files would be an additional bonus for readers.  However, you can download the code files for all the sample applications directly from the website of the publisher.  Murach Visual Basic 2005 only analyzes the development of Windows Forms applications.  If you would like to learn ASP.NET 2.0 using Visual Basic 2005 then you need to purchase Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Web Programming with VB 2005.
