Great Intro to Visual Studio and .NET Programming...

I am a web developer that wanted to learn how to get into the .NET game. This book was a great start. It quickly helped me learn how to use Visual Studio as well as how to start programming in VB. 70% of the book uses windows forms in the examples, 20% of the book uses web forms, and 10% uses console related examples. Overall, I really like the book and would recommend it to anyone that needed a starting point in .NET and Visual Studio. I only wish that the sections on web based (asp.net) forms were expanded. Unfortunately the asp.net counterpart to this book is written in C# by another author and is no where near as good as this book... bummer!

Great Book!

Easy and fast introduction to VB .NET - gives you the basics and more in an easily digested manner. I like the visual approach that helps in remembering things and easily create a "mental map" of VB.

Excellent Approach to VB

I highly recommend this book to any person wanting to learn VB. Richard Bowman did an excellent job keeping things clear and concise. This is a must have for anyone wanting to learn VB. This book is the best I have seen in years.

Skill Upgrader

This books appeal and efect is predicted on your already hving some expewrience with Visual Basic in an earlier incarnation, even VB1 will suffice. Launching from that point it rapidly gets you into the thick of VB.Net. If you are in a rush to learn the substance of VB.Net, I have not seen anything close, and I have examined many and started a few.
