Great Intermediate Book for VB.NET

This book is well written, thorough, and concise. I want to emphasize that this book is very concise; this is the reason that I loved it so much. This book minimizes redunancy and fillers. As a result, I was able to acquire approx. 2-3 times the information per page as compared to a typical programming book. If you have a moderate understanding of programming (or are at least a novice with a talent for this type of thing), then this book will give you a firm grasp on the fundamentals of VB.NET. In addition, you'll learn enough about various .NET topics to know whether more detailed studies of those topics would benefit your goals.

Right on top

This is the best overall book about a proramming language that I have ever owned. From the Turbo Pascal v2 to all of the .net programming languages, this one takes the cake. Plainly written, and full of excellent examples, this is one that will stay on my desk for a long time.

This is a great book

This is the best VB.NET book out there and its the cheapest!!!! GO FIGURE...It has a great section on ADO.NET with excellent examples. Its a bible!!!! The Murach book is a good primer...but I think this book is better.

Good Book

Don't ignore this book because of its low price. I don't have time to read this book from cover to cover. But I read those sections that is important to my projects. All the chapters I read are very clear, to the point and well written.This is not a reference book. It skips such parts like advanced user interface controls and some other things. But for those things it covers, it covers them very good.Now I find I spend more time on this book than other big reference books I have about VB.NET.
