Customer Reviews & Comments
I am professional software engineer and I highly recommend NOT learning from this book. My wife got this book as part of her curriculum and I was exteremly dissappointed by it. It is obvious that the authors have been too busy writing books on GW-Basic to VB6, and have failed to learn the .NET way. You see a lot of legacy (and now deprecated) practices such as suffixing variable names with data type (e.g. accountNumberDecimal), calling classes modules, objects data-types, and so on. It also fails to follow the VB.NET naming convention, e.g. class names start with a lower case. The teaching is not effective either, they try to teach you how to do specific things, like update a text box, without giving you any foundation, like Forms are objects with properties, components and events. If you want to learn VB.NET the right way, look elsewhere.
