Product Description

Dan Mabbut, About.com Visual Basic Guide, Dec 2002

The genius of Jesse's books is that he has a sixth sense about what you want to see and know about.

Product Description

Most Visual Basic .NET books are written for experienced object-oriented programmers, but many programmers jumping on the .NET bandwagon are coming from non-object-oriented languages, such as Visual Basic 6.0 or from script programming, such as JavaScript. These programmers, and those who are adopting VB.NET as their first programming language, have been out of luck when it comes to finding a high-quality introduction to the language that helps them get started.

That's why Jesse Liberty, author of the best-selling books Programming C# and Programming ASP.NET, has written an entry-level guide to Visual Basic .NET. Written in a warm and friendly manner, this book assumes no prior programming experience, and provides an easy introduction to Microsoft's most popular .NET language.

Learning Visual Basic .NET is a complete introduction to VB.NET and object-oriented programming. This book will help you build a solid foundation in .NET, and show how to apply your skills by using hundreds of examples to help you become productive quickly. Learning Visual Basic .NET introduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET, a tool set for building Windows and Web applications. You'll learn about the syntax and structure of the Visual Basic .NET language, including operators, classes and interfaces, structs, arrays, and strings. Liberty then demonstrates how to develop various kinds of applications--including those that work with databases--and web services.

By the time you've finished Learning Visual Basic .NET, you'll be ready to move on to a more advanced programming guide that will help you create large-scale web and Windows applications.

Whether you have a little object-oriented programming experience or you are new to programming altogether, Visual Basic .NET will set you firmly on your way to mastering the essentials of the VB.NET language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vital Foundation, 9 Jun 2003
This review is from: Learning Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)
I have just entered the world of .net and object orientated programming. Many books I have started looking at do not properly explain object orientated fundamentals, and seem to assume you understand them.

This book carefully & comprehensively explains all aspects, and has tons of examples. All examples are written as console apps - this works very effectively since it removes the distractions of the IDE and focuses on core & essential object orientated concepts.

This review is from: Learning Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)
I found the book is useful as a point of reference only. It is not an easy read. But the information is in there somewhere if you can find it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book for newbies, 5 Mar 2004
This review is from: Learning Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)
The language used is clear and simple but so is the ability of the reader that this book is aimed at.

If you've programmed before then choose a more technical book. This covers the syntax and structure of the language but the examples given are too abstract to be really informative and the best thing about vb.net (its Object Orientated capabilities) are just not covered in enough depth.

Theres also no coverage of database access and as most vb apps Ive seen and written have a database somewhere behind them thats a very important omission.

A good book on .net and a decent book on OOP and the help in VS.net will take you alot further than this book. Disapointing from O'Riley.
