Reader Reviews
If you really want to know they whys, hows and wherefores of Visual Basic.Net and the .Net framework in general then you should read this book. However, it is not really a reference, like a dictionary. It is a well-written, carefully thought-out explanation of Visual Basic.Net and the .Net framework. There are several chapters on important concepts like delegates, data structures and design patterns and why they are used. You don't see such concise and clear explanations like these in most books. The author does not spend as much time discussing the details of the language or the framework as other books(there are many good books for that out at this point- I liked Programming Microsoft Visual Basic.Net by Franseco Balena). But this book was very important to me to know why- why delegates? why arrays? why structures? why objects? etc. If you want a really good and thorough understanding of this subject then buy this book. You will need another to go over the details or if you need an introduction (or just use the online documentation which is very substantial and has plenty of detailed examples and explanations).
