Reader Reviews
This is definitely not a complete work on VB or .NET. It does serve as a good walkthrough of the features of .NET and their use through Visual Basic. So as long as you know what you are buying you will likely be pleased. The writing is solid, and the graphics are used effectively. This is not one of the screenshot heavy tomes so often seen in the VB world.
