Product Description Most programming books are about as exciting as Bill Gates' left ear. But with this latest eye-opening release, technology author Karl Moore shows it doesn't have to be quite so dull and uninspiring. Split into eight dynamic parts, Moore's book covers every key area of real-life computer developmentand promises to turn even newbie programmers into VB .NET wizards, quicker than anyone else. It's a perfect tutorial guide for those learning VB .NET from scratch or moving from VB6. Karl Moore's Visual Basic .NET: The Tutorials consists of a number of key tutorials, each dealing with a specific, "real-life" area of programming. The tutorials are broken down into easily digestible 10-page installments, with an accompanying FAQ and review sheet at the close. Numerous "top tips" are also distributed throughout the texts to aid understanding.
Featured Customer Reviews  I am returning my copy of this book,
September 01, 2004
The book has some useful information and tips, shows where to start. However, it is only a set of quick tutorials and I had to order a solid beginner's book anyway.
I find the author's abundant humor very simplistic and annoying. For example when he returns to button control this is what his readers get, "Okay, so you've seen this one before, but I'm feeling repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. What, not even a sympathy laugh? Sheesh. That's the thanks you get. Anyway, it's a button. You click it; it does stuff. Whoop-de-doo." Then there is list of 5 key properties, 2 key methods, 2 key events and one line of sample code. No explanation provided for any of them.
I don't know why this book got a lot of positive comments. Low-impact, high-value intro to VB.NET,
July 17, 2004Just the opposite of a dense and dull textbook...  Adequate intro into VB.NET,
June 24, 2004the reason behind the reviews...,
January 11, 2004 This was one of the first VB .NET books I bought. I thought i would come online to give it a review as it was so good. i thought perhaps i would help it's sales... but there are so many already!! The only extra thing i can say is that this book rules, it's great, and it's fantastic to kick start your .net adventure. Well done!!Instant delivery, great job,
October 07, 2003 I took this book on holiday with me to Majorca.. it was fantastic to read a tutorial book without having to even be in front of the computer. Mr Moore teaches in a way that makes you read and want to learn more. If you're new, or are porting to .NET, this is the book you HAVE to buy!! (ps. it arrived next day for me)
