I try this to be as honest as I can.
The Good:
You see less talk and more how VB.NET works.
The sample codes are usually good and clear.
Book tries to cover many topics on VB.NET.
The Bad:
The book is more like a reference book,
Lots of topics are explained in less than half a page.
The examples given for the topic is not enough.
Even though the book covers VB, there is nothing visual,
It ... Read More
Rating:  - Not like any other Visual Basic book on your shelf
This is distilled expertise on Visual Basic .NET - concise, complete, and correct. Anyone from beginner to pro will learn new things about VB concepts and syntax.
I use this book when I teach introductory Visual Basic .NET. It is the best way for a student to zero in on a single topic. They can find a brief but complete exposition, and an example that strips away all irrelevancies to illustrate the concept at hand.
But I also learned some things that I didn't know from this ... Read More
Rating: - The book to read if you want to understand VB.NET.
I love this book.
I've been programming in VB for ages, well, the better part of ten years anyway. I've also been in VB.NET since the early betas, and I'm passionate about where the language is today and where it is going. I also think I know my way around the language pretty well.
So, I picked up this book mostly to see if I wanted to recommend it to beginning or intermediate programmers. What a surprise when I found myself learning, or at other times remembering forgotten details ... Read More
Rating:  - Significant improvements to Visual Basic
Microsoft has released a .NET Development Series of books, and this is one of the latest. In some ways, compared to the earlier books, this is the easiest to read. Due to its subject. It teaches you how to program in Visual Basic in .NET. There have been significant extensions and changes to Visual Basic since it ran under COM. So even if you know the latter, it would pay to thoroughly read this book.
VB.NET has clearly descended from Basic of the 70s and 80s. Yet there have been intriguing influences ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Book
An excellent reference book for Visual Basic .NET!
There are a lot of good things about this book:
- It is precise but not terse.
- Examples are short and designed very carefully.
- There are a bunch of notes on historical or design aspect of the language. These notes brings the things into context. These are informative as well as entertaining.
The organization of this book is great. Especially if you are an instructor, its so easy to structure your course around this book.
