Visual Basic .NET! I Didn't Know You Could Do That...

Summary: VB .NET Quick Start with Excellent Examples
Review: I have a little exposure with VB6 (3 weeks last year). I do mostly C++.
This book is the best I found so far in terms of examples and cost. If you need a book to learn the differences between VB6 and VB .NET in a week with plenty of practical intermediate/advanced examples, this is the book. With the information I get from this book, I can understand the material from Microsoft's .NET jumpstart course with ease.

The examples in this book are really remarkable and don't expect toy programs. If only WROX books are like this book, I will not need to spend so much time reading!

Summary: The author looks intense
Review: Is this cover along the lines of Wrox where the author/s are featured on the cover.

I don't mind the look of this author, although he does look rather intense and he could do with a shave.

Summary: very confusing - some details are based on Beta-2
Review: This book shouldn't be sold anymore because its based on the beta version of Visual Studio.NET (which the authors states in the introduction) - so some samples won't run without small modifications which is very confusing for beginners. And putting an ape on the cover isn't very approiate either.

I like the authors other books 99 code samples for Visual Basic.NET much better.
