5.0 out of 5 stars One for programming team leaders, 19 Feb 2007
This book is not designed to provide tuition in the finer points of VB.NET but is a great resource for software houses and programming teams considering the switch from VB Classic (or other development tools of the same generation) to VB.NET and the .NET framework. It would also be a great resource for anyone new to the task of leading a programming team using VB.NET. The book covers aspects of managing and executing development projects that are rarely mentioned at all in technical books and even more rarely covered in such an authoritative and entertaining style.

I have been a fan of Rod Stephens' books since I first discovered his "Visual Basic Graphics Programming" which was a book I wish I had had to hand when I was writing my first mapping tool using VB3 and Windows 3.1 back in the year dot - but unfortunately it had not yet been written.

This book starts with an honest review of the Visual Basic language itself - listing it's disadvantages and then it's advantages. It takes a look a project lifecycle methodologies and presents a chapter on "Agile" development. There are sections on UI design and even design patterns - a great way of catching up on what the Java brigade waffle on about even if you (like me) suspect that patterns are an invention designed to fill in fatal flaws in a given language or environment. In a similar vein the book has sections on documentation, coding standards and testing that are well worth reviewing and putting into practice if there are flaws within your own procedures or standards..

Where the book really starts to deliver is when it covers some of the more technical aspects of the language and the .NET framework and explains why you might want to build these technologies into any given project. Thus the chapters on scripting, deployment and reflection will truly serve Rod's target audience. In addition the short chapter on .NET printing, that solves so many real world project issues, makes the price of the book worthwhile by itself.

So if you are in the position where you need a good review of Visual Basic and the .NET framework from the viewpoint of a lead programmer or programming manager then this book will deliver just what you need and give you a clear insight into the finer points of the technology. Yes the book includes lots of source code that will be eagerly reviewed by those with a technical bent but you can skip the details of any given implementation if you are just after the concepts. Recommended reading for any programmer or programming "shop" still sitting on the fence and cutting VB Classic code.
