Lacks answers.......2004-11-29
For a book so heavy to carry, it only scratches the surface.......2004-05-25
They do have a lot of material in them, but the material basically going into excrutiating detail about each subject with tons and tons of code snippets and complete code examples. If you like details, then this book is for you.
Unfortunately, while the size of the book is big, the range of topics is limited. ADO.NET, OOP, .NET Framework concepts are glossed over. OK, you can buy other books to supplement this one and the book may make a good textbook for a first semeter college course (in a multi-semester, multi-course program). All the same, for such a high price and a heavy carrying weight, I wish more topics were covered.
The only way to learn programming!.......2004-04-10
You won't master OOP,ASP.NET, ADO.NET, etc., but you'll acquire a solid understanding of programming and VB.NET, and after finishing the book, will know whether or not you really want to pursue programming further, before buying dozens of books on advanced / specialized topics. This book is expensive but it probably does the job of two or three books(basics, practical applications, Visual Studio IDE), so the price isn't outrageous. This book serves as both a tutorial as well as a reference guide.
If you decide to pursue .NET programming further, read the Listmania pages, as well as the customer reviews and visit sites such as programmersheaven.com for advice on buying good books.

Simply Visual Basic .NET

going back to school at your own page.......2007-04-11
Good Book.......2005-09-21
Great intro to Visual Basic.NET.......2003-06-24
The book is application based, which means that in each chapter you either build or enhance an application from the ground up. This is a great way to see how the concepts translate into reality. You also have to run the programs, so likely there will be the inevitable debugging problems (which is good to get used to if you want to program).
It's slow paced, as it should be for the beginner. There are entire chapters devoted to text boxes and variables and checkboxes. To give you an idea of the pace, Control structures don't appear until chapter 10 (200 pages into the book); Classes and Objects aren't discussed until chapter 19 (400 pages into the book), and Database programming doesn't come along until chapter 25 (almost 600 pages into the book). If you're hoping to learn VB.NET quickly, this is not the book for you. This book is for the programmer who wants mounds and mounds of detail. Persistence will pay off, and when you've eyed the final text on page 752 you'll be well versed in the basics of the Visual Studio.NET IDE and the Visual Basic.NET language (including the basics of Object-Oriented programming and the .NET class libraries). There are even 4 chapters dedicated to ASP.NET to give you a taste of the web programming capabilities of Visual Studio.NET.
I read this book for a refresher (I have previous experience in Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic.NET) and I was able to complete about 2-3 tutorials from the book per day, which computes into less than a month's time investment. Now I feel pretty confident that I have the fundamentals down.
If you're new to programming, or if you want a back-to-the-basics VB.NET book, this one is a good read.

Visual Basic .NET Reflection Handbook
James Hart , Benny Mathew , Syed Fahad Gilani , Michael J. Gillespie , and Andy Olsen Manufacturer: Wrox Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1861007590 |
Book Description
Reflection is a mechanism provided by .NET that enables developers to make their programs more flexible and dynamic. Reflection makes it possible for applications to be more modular, extensible, and configurable. Building on the basics of object-orientation and the .NET type system, reflection provides mechanisms for dynamically examining, modifying, and even creating objects at run time. .NET also adds the ability for programmers to add attributes to their types, which provide metadata about the type which can be examined and used through reflection at runtime.This book examines all the ways reflection can be used, and identifies practical applications and important programming techniques that rely upon reflection for their functionality. It covers the reflection API, the use of attributes in .NET, and also looks at the mechanisms .NET provides for dynamic generation of code - all techniques that allow developers to build more flexible, dynamic applications.

ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming (The Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)
Matt J. Crouch Manufacturer: Addison-Wesley Professional ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:

Active Server Pages (ASP) has been the backbone of server-side programming in the Microsoft environment for several years. Visual Basic has been that company's toolkit for developing client-server applications in a hurry. Now, with the release of the ASP.NET specification and the VB .NET development environment, the two technologies intersect more than ever. ASP.NET and VB.NET Web Programming explains how each of these technologies works on its own, and explains in implementation-level detail (i.e., lots of code listings) exactly how they work together to provide Web services under the .NET Framework.Matt Crouch uses a nifty technique for annotating his code. Rather than comment long listings extensively, or repeat sections later for commentary, he attaches a number to interesting lines in long listings. Then, in the commentary sections that follow the listings, he refers to lines by number (so-and-so happens in line 84 because we did thus-and-such in line 56, for example). The effect is like reading an analysis of poetry. The technique works well, except for the fact that you sometimes end up flipping back and forth between commentary and listing. Overall, this is a fine choice for someone familiar with VB 6 or old-style ASP who wants to learn about Microsoft-style Web services with the help of numerous code samples and careful commentary. --David Wall
Topics covered: How to create Web sites under the Microsoft .NET Framework. The author covers techniques for creating HTML interfaces with ASP.NET, shows how to build managed components for COM+, and explains how to create Web services under VB .NET. It's a comprehensive guide to Web services and HTML page generation for VB .NET programmers.

Very disappointing.......2004-08-15
Poorly written, "jumpy" explanations.......2004-02-16
I was forced to by this text for a college course and have found much better beginning asp.net and vb.net texts since buying it.
Bad Book.......2004-01-19
General.......2003-06-24
Not for begginers to Microsoft programming.......2003-03-27
I recenctly decided I would like to pick up VB.net for web development and maybe pass 70-305. I just finished VB.net Step-by-Step and was pretty happy.
I bought this book based on the reviews and I have to say I am frustrated and disappointed.
First off, most of the book is spent making console applications, not web applications.
Second, there are no clear tutorials or labs that allow you to practice or apply what you have learned. Lots of code snippets and incomplete programs that aren't terribly clear. Lots of theory, not much application
Finally, the author assumes knowledge that hasn't been demonstrated in the book to date when giving examples or using terminology. For someone who is unfamiliar with the MS programming world, it can very confusing.
All in all I'm not impressed.

Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET
J.P. Hamilton Manufacturer: O'Reilly Media, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0596001460 |
Book Description
One of the most significant features of Visual Basic .NET is the full support of object-oriented programming. For years, developers have been asking for it, but you may not be quite sure how it can help to create and maintain scalable .NET applications. VB.NET is a language that facilitates object-oriented programming, but does not guarantee good object-oriented code. That's where Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET comes in. It will show you how to think about similarities in your application logic and how to design and create objects that maximize the benefit and power the .NET Framework enables. The concept of separating the interface from the implementation has been around for years, but with Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET you'll put it all into practice and you'll never willingly go back to those old ways. With chapters on object fundamentals and class anatomy, you'll lay a foundation that will prepare you to think and apply code reuse principles. Following that, you'll be ready to dive deep into code and the dynamic ecology that it interacts with. Inheritance, containment, polymorphism, overloading, and overriding are just the beginning of this adventure. From there, you'll discover exception handling, reflection, serialization, and I/O. Packed with examples that will guide you through every step, Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET is a guide for those with some programming experience. This book is for those who know Visual Basic 6.0 and are ready or have started the process of developing with Visual Basic .NET. It is an essential tool that will build your skills, as you become a master of Visual Basic .NET. It is one thing to know how to write object-oriented code. Knowing the when and the why is what makes good programmers. That's exactly what you'll know after reading this book.Customer Reviews:
