Summary: No programming experience, No problem!!! A+++
Review: Basically I am an infrastructure designer. I build networks, servers, and web hosting centers. I knew ZERO about programming. I had alot of ideas that I would like to write programs for but had no idea how to get started. I have one semester of cleege so I literraly have nothing when it come to programming. After buying this book and I very very close to being able to do everything I wanted to do. A WINIPCFG visual program for W2K, an admin secured chat program, etc. All I can say is great book!!!!

Summary: Generally a good book
Review: I am an intermediate programmer. I decided to introduce myself to the new VB.NET by reading a beginner book. This book had a lot of examples. I actually enjoyed it. However, if you want to learn OOPs, this book is not for you. Eventually, I will read this book again because of so many code routines that it has which I didn't quite understand the first time I read it. The authors used OOPs in the book without really explaining it in detail. I recommend this book as a good beginner book.

Summary: Disappointed !!!
Review: I enjoyed the Matthew Reynolds? e-commerce book last year and thought that this guy will keep doing good books. I was wrong, this book is for kids under 10 or for someone who never learnt any programming language.

Summary: Errata Incomplete and Not Up To Date
Review: I like the WROX series books a great deal. I like the fact that they have beginning, professional, and other books on the same subject. Their site publishes errata that you can write into your book before starting it. But, then as I go through the book I find more typos, illogicalities, or wrong descriptions (such as telling you that you will see a particular screen upon hitting a certain menu and that is not the screen that you do see). I started sending in errata, one chapter at a time and was duly told that they would be sent to the "editors". Well the "editors" seem to be a "black hole", because, since about 2-3 months ago, after starting sending in what I found, I have never heard back from WROX AND there are no new updates to the errata on their site. Therefore, please note that some or many of your WROX books may or probably will not have up to date errata for them. I will also be sending in errata for Beginning ASP .NET Using Visual Basic .NET. I'll report back as to how that errata process is working also.

Summary: Need to know VB.Net? Another excellent Wrox title!
Review: Whether you know VB or not, this book is a great intro for VB.Net. So much has changed in VB to VB.Net that getting information about the subject in such a well written way is hard to find. I have two or three books that Matthew has been involved with and each of them takes the reader through at a steady but effective pace without being too slow or so fast you miss out important details. Going through the new forms handling was especially well written

Summary: Excellent! Well worth the price
Review: While I have been developing software in other languages for many years, all the hype on .NET got me interested in C# and VB. If you have no experience in VB or just want a tutorial type book that doesn't assume anything then this is the book for you. You don't get the feeling the author is talking down to you but like a good instructor passing on the information needed as well as explaining why things are done based on personal experience. A well written book that seems to cover all the topics needed to get you ready to experiment on your own (which is where all the real learning happens anyway). My experience with this book (I just finished it) makes me confident in my next purchase, the "Beginning VB.NET Databases" book by the same author.
