Finally, some useful content!

If this book is a typical example of the new Wrox "Handbook" style books, then I look forward to seeing more of them. While this "Handbook" is considerable smaller (just under 300 pages) than many of the technical books I have purchased over the years, it is much more densely filled with useful content. By the time you've read the first 100 pages, the authors have walked you through the basics, including a practical example that covers a lot of what you will need to know to deploy a windows forms application with the VS.NET deployment tools. Important topics (such as how to protect your code) are also covered. I did find a small mistake in some of the text, but Wrox was quick to update the Errata page for the book. The only thing that would have made this book perfect for me is if they would have covered web deployment as much as windows forms deployment. Still, there is enough useful information that applies to both that if web deployment is your focus, you will still find this book useful. Plus, you can carry this book around without breaking your back! Well worth the money if you are deploying VB.NET applications.
