If you enjoy Coder to Developer (or even if you don't, for that matter), you might enjoy some of my other books. That's why I've collected links to some of them here. Well, that and the fact that I make money when you buy them, of course.
| The MCAD/MCSD Training Guide series includes one book each for the 70-305, 70-206, and 70-310 Visual Basic .NET certification exams. That comes to almost 3000 pages of tutorial and reference material on VB .NET. I've been told by readers that these are better than the official Microsoft Press books if you want to actually pass the exams. | Buy 70-305 book from Amazon Buy 70-306 book from Amazon Buy 70-310 book from Amazon |

| The Access 2002 Developer's Handbook is the final version of this definitive reference to Microsoft Access; there won't be a revision for Access 2003. I'm the third author on this one, and wrote about a third of each volume. | Buy desktop volume from Amazon Buy enterprise volume from Amazon Buy boxed set from Amazon |
|
| Joe Jorden and I wrote Mastering SQL Server 2000 while the program was still in beta, so this one has been around for quite a while. But it's still selling. It's an intermediate-level reference for either developers or DBAs, covering the subject broadly without going into depth about everything. | Buy from Amazon | |
| Jason Price and I put together Mastering Visual C# .NET. As with other titles in Sybex's "Mastering" series, it's intermediate-level. You'll get an introduction to the language syntax, lots of examples, and a few advanced topics. We didn't use VS .NET, so you can build everything in the book with the free tools in the .NET Framework SDK. | Buy from Amazon | |
| The Upgrader's Guide to Microsoft Office System 2003 isn't due out until the start of June, but of course you can order it now. Another collaboration with Susan Sales Harkins, this one covers only the new features so you don't waste your time reading about things you already know. | Buy from Amazon | |
| Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Access 2002 and Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Access 2003 are a pair of books that Susan Sales Harkins and I collaborated on. They're pretty much just what the titles say. | Buy 2002 version from Amazon Buy 2003 version from Amazon |
|
| The International Computer Driving License is a very entry-level certification program, designed for people who need to demonstrate basic skills to potential employers. Susan Sales Harkins and I have written ICDL Exam Cram 2 and ICDL Practice Exercises Exam Cram 2 to help you study for the exams. | Buy Exam Cram from Amazon Buy Practice Tests from Amazon |
|
| The Skillful Developer is a collection of my columns from MCP Magazine Online, available as a PDF download. You can order it direct from CertCities, one of MCP's sister sites. | Buy Direct |
There are also lots of books from other authors that can make you a better developer. I'll put links in for these when I can, but for now, just a list:
