Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionThe .NET framework is the first development platform designed from the ground up with the Internet in mind. In order to incorporate VB developers within this framework, Microsoft have introduced a number of new features to VB.NET, not least a move to full object-oriented programming and greatly enhanced web design facilities.
This book will give the experienced programmer insight into these new and enhanced features, so as to allow them to begin designing and writing real-world applications, which fully utilize the exciting power of VB.NET.

Rating: - Good Overview
This is a good preview of the technology. It doesn't have a lot of in depth coverage of VB.Net and it is not current, but it is good to show you what can be done and what changes. It is sometimes confusing as to what is VB6 and what is VB.Net if you are not well versed in VB6.
Rating: - Now replaced by "Fast Track Visual Basic.NET"
Thanks to those who had kind things to say about this book. Rocky and I had a blast writing it, and we're glad it was helpful.
But things have moved way beyond beta one now, and this book is obsolete and out of print. Recently we finished a complete rewrite of this book for the production version of Visual Basic .NET. That new book is called "Fast Track Visual Basic.NET." We used this book as a starting point, but we did a lot of refinement, and we think it's an even better intro to VB.NET. ... Read More
Rating: - Good, Beta, Best
OK, while we're waiting for the real thing, the public betas are out there being played with. Being worked with. As they were free, or a nominal charge, there's a lot of programmers working with VS.NET, especially VB.NET.
This book is excellent. Well-written, full of code samples, aimed squarely at Visual Basic.
It covers the Beta 1, but there is a web update for Beta 2, so if something doesn't work (mostly in the data access), then go check the web.
Rating: - Good Introduction
Good introduction to the .Net product. Need to have a solid programming background and solid knowledge of OOP to get the most out of this book. I would recommend it except that Beat 2 is out and this book is out of date in many areas now as the product has changed (especially in the web application area).
Rating: - Obsolete already. Written using Beta1
This book was written using the Beta 1 release. It is now obsolete and is no longer published.
