Outstanding Reference for the "Rest" Of Us April 4, 2007

If you're new to programming in Visual Basic .NET, but have programmed in some other langauge before, there is always this barrier that one faces when they know, to a certain degree, the task they want to accomplish, but often fall short trying to figure out the syntax or method to implement it here. That is what this book does. It's an essential cookbook, in the language of choice, that bridges that barrier.
It's also a great side-companion for beginners, mainly because the intro books do a fair job of getting people started, but they also need to figure out specific tasks or methods of doing things that tutorial books won't cover. It does not overstate the obvious, and it serves up pretty clear impressions and explanations on what it delivers.
Great ideas for the newbie March 17, 2007

Very helpful for a casual programmer like myself. Just remember to download the "recipies" to avoid retyping.

I've found this book quite useful. There are lots of practical tips, tricks and techniques for VB 2005. I've gleaned a multitude of ideas for use in an intermediate VB class that I teach.

Lots of neat tips and ideas. Well written. Very good value. I've already used several "recipes" from the book in just a couple of weeks of owning it.
