Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
With the launch of VB.NET, Visual Basic programmers need a concise reference documenting new and changed features. VB.NET Language in a Nutshelldoes the job.

While there's a short overview of the VB.NET language and the VB.NET Framework included VB.NET Language in a Nutshell isn't intended as a guide for beginners, though it will prove useful as a reference alongside one of the many VB.NET tutorials currently in the works.

The heart of the book is the alphabetical listing of VB.NET's statements, procedures, functions and objects. These detail the syntax, the arguments accepted, the data type returned by functions and keyword differences from VB 6. Better yet, and in keeping with O'Reilly's high standards, rather than just rewrite Microsoft's technical notes the authors have tried them out, provided cross references to related keywords, details on usage and even point out any gotchas they've discovered along the way. The code examples demonstrating just how to employ many of the functions, methods and so on in your own code are especially welcome, especially where these differ from their usage under VB 6, though as always, you'll wish there were more.

Overall, a great early entrant into what will soon become a crowded market for VB.NET titles--and one you won't regret buying whatever else becomes available. This is highly recommended. --Steve Patient --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A good basic guide to VB.NET…it does lay out the
bones of VB and .Net concisely and clearly

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, 10 Nov 2002
By Mike Barron (Southampton, Hants United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
VB & VBA by Paul Lomax is my most used VB6 book. Lomax has real depth and his wonderful Tips and Gotchas always seem to be exactly what I need to know. Seeing his name on this book, I expected something very good. Unfortunately it isn't.

VB.NET Language is OK and seems to be correct as far as it goes but it is nothing like as good as VB & VBA. It is not as thorough and it demonstrates much less deep knowledge of the language. Quite a few important new classes are simply not covered and entries that really need Tips and Gotchas don't have them. Also one of the authors (Roman?) has a tendency to digress into irritating asides on pure maths.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, concise, lots of info - a bit uninspirational, 24 Mar 2002
This book has all the information you need to move from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Studion .net.

It is concisely written and technically accurate. It is a handy size, weighing substantially less than a brick.

The writing is dense, and diagrams are minimal, so you have to concentrate to take the information in. It is not the kind of book you can read casually.
