Customer Reviews

Great book

This book is excellent. One of the best I've seen. Loads of examples, good explanations, far more detail than I've seen other places. Answers nearly all of my questions. I recommend it to anyone!

Great for Beginners to Mid Level Experienced Programmers

Being a programmer with 3 years experience and developing in VB6.0. I found this book to be a great reference book for me while I began learning VB.NET. I would ask myself while developing.. 'I can develop feature 'x' in VB6.0, so how does VB.NET handle 'x'.. and look it up' The Black Book doesn't dive into the philosophies of VB.NET, but rather delivers straight forward code examples of how to do it. For grunt programming and experienced VB6.0 developers, I feel this book is a must on every developers book shelf.

Good

The book is good for both experienced programmers and beginners. What I was looking well into was the ADO.Net chapters and they are very good.I have more than 6 years of Delphi experience and this book was good for me to begin with and as reference.

Just Great

Never expected that the book printed before a final release of VB.Net will not have any mistakes. At least after reading and running many examples from the book in VB.Net (final release) I did not meet any problem.The book is great for both experienced programmers and beginners. ADO.Net chapters are much better, than in any other books I've already read.I have more than 5 years of VB experience and before this book I was afraid, that VB.Net will take a lot of time to be learnt. After 3 days with this book I'm pretty comfortable with VB.Net
