Editorial Review:
Visual Basic .NET Complete is a one-of-a-kind book--valuable both for its broad content and its low price. Because the new version of Visual Basic is radically different from VB6, this book delivers the essential skills you need to start programming with VB.NET--including the basics of the new language and developing Windows applications with the new Visual Studio .NET tools.
With Visual Basic .NET Complete, you'll learn everything you need to know for Web application development with ASP.NET and XML--from working with Web Forms to building Web Services. You'll also learn how to build database applications with ADO.NET, the latest version of Microsoft's data access technology. Finally, you'll get the experience of creating real-world applications, including building an online store using .NET technologies.
Visual Basic .NET Complete introduces you to the work of some of Sybex's finest authors, so you'll know where to go to learn even more about Visual Basic .NET.

Rating:  - Great Intermediate Book for VB.NET
This book is well written, thorough, and concise. I want to emphasize that this book is very concise; this is the reason that I loved it so much. This book minimizes redunancy and fillers. As a result, I was able to acquire approx. 2-3 times the information per page as compared to a typical programming book. If you have a moderate understanding of programming (or are at least a novice with a talent for this type of thing), then this book will give you a firm grasp on the fundamentals of VB.NET. ...

Rating: - Right on top
This is the best overall book about a proramming language that I have ever owned. From the Turbo Pascal v2 to all of the .net programming languages, this one takes the cake. Plainly written, and full of excellent examples, this is one that will stay on my desk for a long time.
Rating:  - Not bad for the money
Visual Basic is a huge subject, and most books that cover it carry a price tag of $40+. This book has chapters from other books and so, as a reprint, it was produced a lot more cheaply. It is not a book for beginners, but it is a decent reference. It has a lot of examples -- and this is the best way to go about using a programming language, anyway.
I was somewhat disappointed that the dialect of VB in this book was 6.0, not 2005. But if you're not using the current compiler version that ... Read More
Rating:  - Keep looking.
This book says too little about so much. Save your money and buy a real book not a promo type book for other books.

GO FIGURE...It has a great section on ADO.NET with excellent examples. Its a bible!!!! The Murach book is a good primer...but I think this book is better.
