 This is a Great beginner Book March 17, 2007
Yes this may noot have all you need , but if you are teaching a course in VB this is an exceelent book to use. I also like it for people who want to teach themself vb programming. I have worked as a programmer/instructor for over 10 years and have used this authors books in previous editions, it is great for beginners. There are tons of hands on exercises you can have your studnets try
 I do not like this book December 9, 2005

I am giving the book one star because of the number of exercises in it and no stars is not an option.
I have read a fair number of books on programming before this book and I must say this is the worst one yet.
I can't believe my school used this book.
The exercises in the book are fine; even good.
The rest of the book is almost useless.
The writing is cryptic at best.
I can look at the exercises and read the programs fine.
The instruction on the other hand I can't make heads or tails out of most of the time.
It is like one person wrote the chapters and another wrote the exercises.
I finally gave up on reading the chapters and just started doing the exercises.
I can't discourage this book enough.
An Introduction to Programming with Visual Basic.NET, Fifth Edition September 12, 2005
Excellent book. Very pedagogical. Perfect learning tool. Any body who wants to spend serious efforts to learn VB.Net should

I bought this book for a class at my university, im currently majoring in IT. I found this book to be very easy to read and to understand. The code Samples are very simple and the books provides a reasonable ammount of exercise to work on. One Downside to this book is that the autor explanation to some topics in tha latter chapters of the book tends to be incomplete but is a pretty good book up to chapter 8. One important thing though is that if you want to master VB.NET this is not the book for you its main purpose is just to give you a brief introduction to the language.
 This book is just like a... November 27, 2004

The way this book is written the author throws you a scrap of information and does not reinforce this scrap whatsoever and thus leaves you confused, stressed, and upset !
This may sound harsh, but please do not purchase this book unless required to do so by your university (like me). I am an MIS major, and must admit my serious weakness is in programming. This book has done nothing to help me ! If you are a programming person, pickup this book and you'll enjoy. If you are more of a systems administrator type and you know programming knowledge is necessary, but are not the programming type then run far, far away from this book !
