5.0 out of 5 stars Good Learning Environment, Oct 4 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning VB.NET, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I am a Systems and Network Administrator who used Visual Basic 6.0 to automate many of the redundant tasks typical of this environment. I don't claim to be a "developer" but have been developing tools for a long time. I typically do not like WROX books but after sitting down at my local bookstore and plowing through 20 books on VB.NET, this one stood out. It has good examples that you can follow, it assumes you have basic programming/development skills and it is well written. If you are a developer by occupation this is probably not the book for you. For those of us who do not release our code to production environments this book has served me well by not being incredibly basic nor losing me in advanced topics.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a VB.Net book, Jun 26 2004
By ansi6968@sprintpcs.com (Overland Park, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginning VB.NET 2003 (Paperback)
This book is geared towards teaching beginning programming skills. It just so happens that the authors chose VB .Net as the language. In the outset they indicate that their intentions are to teach you programming skills, no matter what language you use. This made the book title misleading. I can usually depend on Wrox to produce a pretty good book. If I were a beginning programmer perhaps I would be impressed. If you want to really learn the ins and outs of VB.Net this is definitely not the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best VB.NET book, Jun 10 2004
This review is from: Beginning VB.NET (Paperback)
I was trying to find a book that would extend my VB6 capabilities to VB.NET especially that the language has completely changed. After surfing the net in general and Amazon in particular the title of the book attracted me. I said WoW, now its time to learn VB.NET.

Actually going through this book enriched my knowledge a lot, i was not only able to tranfere most of my programs (Civil Engineering) but i extended them a lot.

This book gives a very clear view of classes and i consider this the best part of this book.

I encourage you to buy it although it is not really made for those who are totally new to programming. It requires a little bit of experience, a good understanding of VB6 will help a lot.

The book starts out a little slow for those who program in any other IDE but seems to pick up. It's well worded and easy to take in. Read more
