3.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners (as it says in the title!), 4 Dec 2002
This review is from: Beginning VB.NET (Paperback)
This book attempts to teach you how to program, using Visual Basic.Net. I think it does a pretty good job of this, however it's not so useful if you are already a programmer/have used VB6. This wouldn't be a problem, only the book claims to be suitable if you 'have some experience with other versions of Visual Basic' - it isn't particularly, with the first half of it being orientated towards teaching concepts such as arrays and how they are used, how to write an algorithm for a program, how to use variables, etc. . . .

If you are new to programming and want to learn VB.Net, buy it, it's a fantastic introduction. If you are an experienced programmer looking to learn VB.Net, I'd recommend you go elsewhere (such as Core VB.Net reference by Balena).

4.0 out of 5 stars Well structured book for beginners, 1 Dec 2004
By S. Hall - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm an experienced VB6 developer, so I skipped large sections of this book. It goes into examples of arrays, variables, conditions - the type of things I don't need to know about. Beginners certainly will find the book well structured with basic examples and clear explanations.
More experienced developers will skip large sections of it and use the examples to highlight differences between VB6 and VB.NET, but it possibly not the best tome for that.
There are a couple of small errors with some of the examples, but the publisher's website provides corrections.
