Rating:  - The only VB book you'l ever need
This book is absolutely great. This book taght me everything I needed to know about VB .NET to develop a complex application. It has easy to understand sample applications with superb detail explanation. I think this book should be an example for other authors how to organize thier materials.
I can not say enough about how great this book is. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Rating: - Simply a superb book
I've read a lot of tech books. Most leave you wanting even the basic necessities. This book is fabulous. It's clear, concise and well organized. After reading a topic, I feel like I have a clear understanding of it. I've been actually applying what he writes in real situations and they work.
Highly recommended!
By the way, I'm reviewing the 2002 version. I'm thinking about splurging for the 2003 version!
Rating: - Don't buy first edition. This is the one.
This book SINGLE HANDEDLY trained me and got me my dream job in ASP.NET / SQL Server. IF you want a book that cuts through *all* the BS, and tells you what you NEED to know, you found it! The author's writing style is superb; he keeps the topics interesting and fun. Study .NET with this book and you'll rise to the top and be the envy of all your colleagues - yes, it's *that* good.
We have 3 developers at my place of work. We had 4 copies of Programming VB.NET 2002, and just today we got 3 copies in of the 2003 edition. We are very excited to be able jump into this version. Balena adds the much needed .NET Remoting chapter as well as a full text search (PDF) of the whole 2003 book on CD. Also, this book covers VS.NET 2003 and .NET 1.1
MAKE your boss buy you this book now.
If you're the boss, you know what to do!
Happy .NETing
