Product Description
Product Description
Visual Basic .NET for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide provides the key to unlocking the power of the .NET Framework. Using task-based instruction and plenty of visual aids, veteran author Harold Davis provides you with all the information you need to start creating componentized, reusable code and building Web services with VB .NET. Unlike other books available on the topic, which treat VB .NET more like the next version of Visual Basic, this book emphasizes the totally new object-oriented programming paradigm of .NET. It begins by introducing you to the Visual Studio development environment and demonstrating how to create a Web service, then moves on to working with classes and using Windows forms. As your knowledge grows, the tasks become more complex, and by the end of the book you¿ll have learned how to create controls that accept user input, write code that responds to events, work with XML, use the Object Browser, create ASP.NET Web applications, and more.

Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent guide to VB.net, though it is quite tough going for someone new to Object Oriented programming. It starts with that aspect as this is needed for the rest of that book, and once through that part it becomes easier going.
The examples start fairly simple but each becomes more complex as the topic is explored in more detail.
Although you are intended to key in the code it is all available as a download; I needed that to track down a deep-hidden error in MY code.
One small point: the book starts with a web-orientated example which you can't run unless you have Windows XP Professional (I don't) so you need to work through the first couple of bits 'in your head'. It soon reverts to Windows examples, though.
And also: the author DOES reply to queries - Helpfully, too!

Best book on VB.NET I've found so far!
28 May 2003
Format:Paperback
I have purchased four VB.NET books thus far, and this one is head and shoulders above the rest! Easy to understand, great example code. AND, much less expensive than the rest! A bargain by any measure! I highly recommend it!

I LEARNED HOW TO PROGRAM!
15 July 2003
Format:Paperback
I've always wanted to learn how to program, but never really got started. Well, with VB .Net and this book that's all I needed. This book has everything for the beginner, clearly explained. I wish I could give it 10 stars!

I love this book!
21 May 2003
Format:Paperback
If you like Davis's previous Visual Basic book in the cool QuickStart series, you'll love this book!
Plenty of meat here, but also easy to follow instructions, examples, and pictures. Makes .NET perfectly clear to beginners (and programmers) who have never worked with it before. Run out and buy this book!
