VB -> VB.NET ? Buy this no-nonsense book!
8 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
I?m trying to learn VB.NET. I?m tired of books that detail, ad nausea, the function of the ?If? statement. Fortunately, I stumbled on this gem by Mr. Utley. He cuts right to the chase, detailing new language feature and changes and shows you how to work with the product. He shows how to create a windows service (cool, baby), a web service, and a console application. He also discusses the fundamentals of ASPX.NET and ADO.NET. If you want a treatise on any of these subjects you won?t find it in this book. You will find a set of great introductions to these areas. Each intro really orients you to the area and provides a base for future growth. The discussion on ADO.NET itself was worth the price of the book to me. Another amazing fact: after he discussed a topic I often wondered how one would ?do that?. In the very next line the author explained how to ?do that?! After 3 times like this the author is either reading my mind or he has heard these questions before.
The source code examples tend to be snippets. I had little trouble filling in the details. My only annoyance is that the book states (as of 1/7/2002) that the source code is on SAMS website. Not so. It?s been missing for some time and I only hope they correct it soon. I noticed that omission in a few other books from SAMS.

Covers changes between .NET and VB 6
26 Oct 2003
Format:Paperback
Craid Utley has created a unique book that is squarely targeted at existing Visual Basic 6 programmers. This book focuses on bridging the gap between VB6 and VB .NET, and covers the major changes with examples.
Unfortunately, most of those examples are not of the explanative how-to variety.
This book won?t teach you how to program in VB .NET, or even how to be a better VB programmer. It is a guide covering what?s new in VB .NET.
On the plus side, it does give one of the best (in layman?s terms) definition of .NET I have seen yet.

A very nice start for people who know VB6
13 July 2002
Format:Paperback
Granted I consider myself an experienced VB Programmer from VB6. I picked up a copy of this book and Visual Studio.net and was developing ADO.net enabled stuff easy. Multithreading is also done exceptionally well in this book. Web Services is something I will have to try next as well, and that chapter looks good as well.
In short this book is not for those who are starting out, but rather those who are veterans in the industry who know the VB syntax and want to try all the best that Visual Basic.net has to offer.
