Book Reviews of Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 2005: The Language (Pro Developer)
Book Review: The Best Dot Net Framework Book Period!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far the best vb.net coverage for the framework! I concur with the 4 and 5 stars and figure the 2 and 1 stars are folks that can't read the contents page. If you are a professional programmer or intend to become one then this is a must have book! The only thing I can say this book is missing is a chapter on CodeDom namespace. I keep going back to chapters on Collections and Reflections every time I need to do some work in that area. I don't do Reflections every day. This book is a hard read cover to cover but individually each chapter will get you 90 to 95% of the way. I have switched to C# programming about 3/4 of a year ago and wish this book was in C#. I know there is a C# book of the same title and plan on reviewing it too. I will say this about this book all programming books should have to come up to this level of perfection!! This is a Five Star book! Also, this book is still current today it still covers most of the framework that has not changed. If you are new to the .net world or are a c# programmer most of these examples will help you out. The big difference is in the generics syntax which is the reason I switched to c#. If you are doing ASP.net or ADO.net then purchase a book that covers those topics! If I had only one book in .net this is the one! I am a long time member of the Columbia SC, Enterprise Developers Guild. Our user group's focus is on .net technologies and the vb.net and c# languages.
