Customer Reviews

Awesome!

I had no idea what threading was about before buying this book. I'm a self-taught programmer so I missed out on all the good stuff like this that you would have learned in college. This book gave me an AWESOME overview of how your programs are executed, and how you can boost performance with free threading in VB.NET. One reader appears to have given a bad review based on a poor code example. That's his oppinion, but the portion of the code that was important -- the threading part -- worked and worked well. To the authors -- THANK YOU whoever you are. I love this handbook series you are doing -- you should do more of them!

Nice book, but some of code has errors

The book is very good. Especially the Synchronization and the Scalability chapters. Chapter 1 is fine, but the code in chapter 1 is not edited properly. The editors haven't done a good job in correcting gramatical errors. But, I recommend this book if you want to learn threading in .Net. This book has some good end-to-end examples that show the importance of threading.

Worth the price

This book is worth the price. Though the editors have not done their job well, the content is rich, especially the Synchronization and the Scalability topics. The end-to-end examples are also helpful.

Complete threading coverage

The book is good and I recommend it for every serious .Net developer. No other .Net book covers threading in detail as this book. I learnt a lot about threading in this book. Especially Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 are detailed and helpful. The samples are very helpfulto getting started with Threading. Threading in .Net is not as easy as it is in Java. It is much intense.

I like it

I didn't know anything about threading. I had heard about it, but didn't know anything about it. This book started off very good and described what threading was, how it's used in the new version of Visual Basic, when to use it, and how to use it.
