Rating:  - Best Book for VB .NET 1.1
I have spent at least $1000 on programming books and this book by far is one of the best I have read for .NET. If you are a VB 6 programmer or even have an understanding of basic programming concept you will get much more from this, but it does briefly explain the basic concepts (variables & functions) as well. Ranging in topics from the .NET composition, OOP, Databases, Security, Remoting, Graphics, Custom Controls, and so much more, this is the book you're looking for!
Rating: - Excellent VB.Net Book
This is indeed a very good book, goes through most of the requirement for .Net programming. I use it as a reference all the time.
It does lack in-depth insight into all the things it explained but that is impossible for a book with this kind of scope.

This book and .NET XML Web Services Step by Step by Adam Freeman and Allen Jones have answered virtually all of my questions about building production distributed database applications using XML Web services. If you're interested, you can download a sample of my working code at www.opointe.com
Rating: - Simply the best ever...
Incredible, so many aspects covered. I bought the first edition in 2002 without experience in .Net Universe. Reading it 2 times and trying exemples. From a VB6 programmer view, .Net is so biggggg, but after a while, with the help of this book, I grab some good understanding. Now, I bought the new edition, better than ever. Clear,concise and well written.
Don't buy any other books if you don't have lot of cash. THIS one is... SIMPLY THE BEST EVER.
Rating: - Excellent Reference Book
I have used Francesco's book extensively with very good results. I think it is a programmer's toolkit with very direct examples and it goes straight to the point.
It obviously is a book you will find more useful the more you are involved with VB.NET programming and may not be particularly good for a beginner.
