Does what it says on the tin (0/0 people found this helpful)
Work your way through it quickly and you'll quickly be ready to learn more. Sure it gets a bit long winded and repetitive sometimes, but all beginners books do, and we beginners can choose how much of it to read.
Definately a beginners book, but as such, a good one.
Excellent book to learn VB (4/4 people found this helpful)
This is a great book for learning VB2005. It goes through many lessons including writing a game for a handheld. I would recommend this to anyone learning VB2005 for the first time.
Well structured book for beginners (13/13 people found this helpful)
I'm an experienced VB6 developer, so I skipped large sections of this book. It goes into examples of arrays, variables, conditions - the type of things I don't need to know about. Beginners certainly will find the book well structured with basic examples and clear explanations.
More experienced developers will skip large sections of it and use the examples to highlight differences between VB6 and VB.NET, but it possibly not the best tome for that.
There are a couple of small errors with some of the examples, but the publisher's website provides corrections.

This is a great book for beginner programmers and intermediate programmers alike. I came from a VB6 world and have used this book it has taught me a lot. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to learn VB.NET..
Good for beginners (as it says in the title!) (71/74 people found this helpful)
This book attempts to teach you how to program, using Visual Basic.Net. I think it does a pretty good job of this, however it's not so useful if you are already a programmer/have used VB6. This wouldn't be a problem, only the book claims to be suitable if you 'have some experience with other versions of Visual Basic' - it isn't particularly, with the first half of it being orientated towards teaching concepts such as arrays and how they are used, how to write an algorithm for a program, how to use variables, etc. . . .
If you are new to programming and want to learn VB.Net, buy it, it's a fantastic introduction. If you are an experienced programmer looking to learn VB.Net, I'd recommend you go elsewhere (such as Core VB.Net reference by Balena).
