Sweet and Simple

Sweet and Simplenot Confusing Just Basic BASIC I read this book in 2 weeks (NonStop) and i had no Prior Experience with VB just C++ Great Book beggining Book Probably the best one out there

GREAT 100% BUT YOU STILL NEED ANOTHER ONE

I must say that this book from the best beginners books in the market,but it still need another book like 'How to program Visual Basic.NET'to answer all the qus? you can ask it,for example all the book you will see{0}and you will geuss it's functionality from the examples,but in the second book it will explain it,another example something in the inhertance called 'is-a',in the book he didn't explain it well but in the second book he did,someone will say:so why i will buy this book,i will answer: this book explain the concepts 100% and covers a lot of things which the second one don't cover it,and for example the data access and XML and UML and a lot,so as i said buy the 2 books and take one chapter from here and one from here,and you will be just fine and you will be ready for Andrew's book :Visual Basic.NET and the .NET platform,thanks for reading my review and i hope that it will be helpful

Covering all bases

I needed to learn how to program VB.Net quick and it is a long time since I hit the keyboards. This book covered all bases from basic programming concepts to great VB.net examples. Everything I needed was in one place. If you need the whole scoop or just a clear description of VB as its grown-up in .Net, this is a great book.

Excellent approach

A strong point of "Visual Basic.NET by Example" is that it introduces the fundamentals of the VisualBasic.NET language in a context that a typical developer might experience in the real world. With this book, a beginning developer not only learns VisualBasic.NET language, but also is provided with an overview of the .NET environment, shown how to use Visual Studio, walked-though object-oriented and database fundamentals, and introduced to highlights of user interface design, UML modeling and general development methodologies. A developer would normally have to read several books to get such a broad view, and would still not benefit from seeing the big picture tied together like it is in this book.The book is very well organized. The table of contents and the index are well done and easy to use. A summary, review questions and exercises accompany each chapter. Unlike many of the recent .NET books, this one is of extremely high quality. I only caught one error and that was in an UML diagram in the appendix."Visual Basic.NET by Example" is straightforward and written in a way that you can understand. It serves its target audience (beginning- intermediate) by not skipping steps or assuming the reader has background knowledge that he/she might not have been exposed to. Not only are the examples excellent, but the authors also takes the time to provide a quality and detailed explanation of each example, often with screen shots. I highly recommend this "Visual Basic.NET by example".

Excellent Examples

One of the best VB.NET books I have seen and read. It is very well written with great examples. The concepts are well explained and in very simple language. I specially suggest this book to people who are just getting started with the object oriented programming.
