Professional VB.NET 2003, 3rd Edition

Rating:
Summary: Good for beginners
Review: Yes, it is written by many authors and you can see some of that. Despite this, the book has helped me to start writing our applications using .NET instead of VB6. It does some good explanations of fundamentals, and does not bog down too deep in the framework and Microsoft's reasons for .NET . On the down side, it does not give a lot of detail on many other things that may need deeper understanding. There definitely needs to be a second edition or a part 2 to this book to give us those deeper samples. But since it is Wrox, I imagine we will see those in separate titles (such as Professional Web Services, etc.) Considering that at this time, the final product has not shipped, I think it is a good start. All-in-all, a good book to use; one of the best on the topic as of this review.
