Rating:  - Great reference book!
I absolutely highly recommend this book.
Having read through several .NET books with no rhyme or reason whatsoever as to how they're put together, I was hoping this book would become a concise _beginning_ point of reference for me.
Boy was I wrong! I use this book constantly. The first week I had it, I referenced it almost daily, and not just for the quick-fix-reminders (in which order do those stupid DateDiff arguments come?). There are nine chapters before the actual ... Read More
Rating:  - A Fair Review
This is basically a reference book to VB.NEt Functions.
The book is divided into 2 parts.
Part 1: Gives you A very simplified introduction to VB.NET
and is only 143 small pages.(If you put them together it is only 71 normal page). So do not expect much from this book.
Part 2: about 400 pages is only a reference to the functions.

Do not buy this if:
You want to learn VB.NET throughly.

Rating: - CD not for VS.NET 2003
A very handy reference manual. Be aware that the included CD will not integrate the book into Visual Studio.NET 2003.
Rating: - This is a "In a Nutshell" book
I think the book stands up to it's title. It's a quick tour of the VB.NET language for the pro(specially for VB6 users). After i took some courses in VB.NET i was looking for books to read further and this out of many i read has the most clarifying and to the point examples. Certainly has not detailed explanations but that's not it's purpose. It's an overview and i think a bright one.
Rating: - Another Solid Reference by O'Reilly
Let me say this: THIS IS NOT A "HOW TO" BOOK. Aside from that, anyone who is using VB .NET will love and rely on this valuable and well-organized reference. The "In a Nutshell" series by O'Reilly is among the best out there.
