Average Rating: 
Rating:  - not for me .
examples are not great.
they need to be more practical.
book seems to be written for people with COM experience.
lingo used throughout the book assumes you have been "OOP-ing" in another language.
C++ coders wanting to transition to VB.NET would appreciate this book.
Rating:  - Good overall coverage but needs more detailed info
This is a good book for the intermediate-to-advanced programmers making the switch to Visual Basic.Net from Visual Basic 6. Please NOTE: This is not a beginner book. The book provides a good overall coverage of most of the Visual Basic.Net topics but this book needs to be augmented with books that are more specific to the programming needs of the developer. For example, if the developer is going to develop Web forms in ASP.NET using Visual Basic.Net, they should buy a books that specifically written ... Read More
Rating: - Great OO coverage but is missing some critical topics
Overall, I think the book does a very good job helping those who come from the non-OO background (especially VB 6) into understanding the OO facets of VB.NET. I think that is where this book is the most solid. The first seven chapters or so you'll think it's a 4-5 star book, however it falls off after that. My reasoning for this is that coverage on debugging and deploying .NET applications is basically non-existent. Although the coverage on tracing was a little better, it could have been stronger and ... Read More
Rating: - Great at Firts
Overall this is a pretty good book but unfortunately it falls apart at the end. The first 2/3 of this book are very detailed and complete with most things shown from both the command line as well as from the IDE, but, I can only guess that the author got tired (the book is over 1,000 pages) and got a little sloppy for the last 1/3. Unfortunately, the last 1/3 has important topics like ADO.NET and ASP.NET. These are not covered nearly as well as the earlier topics. In addition, the author puts things like ... Read More
Rating: - Good book but could be better
I bought this book based on all the 5 star ratings and I was a little disappointed. A better VB.NET book can be written and I'm sure one will if there hasn't been already.
On the plus side:
What the book does well is give its readers a detailed understanding of the .NET framework and what all the files that go with the .NET applications are about. It is definitely enough to get you started programming in VB.NET with confidence.
On the negative side:
Long chapters (approx 70 pages) ... Read More
