SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR: New and experienced developers who want to master Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft's .NET platform quickly Visual Basic developers upgrading to Visual Basic .NET Experienced object developers who want to leverage Visual Basic .NET's object-oriented capabilities Web developers who want to leverage the full power of Visual Basic .NET in Web, XML, and distributed applications System Requirements: Windows 98/NT4/2000/XP 200 MB disk space/64 MB RAM CD-ROM drive & sound card support Internet Explorer 5.5 included

The exercises at the end of each lesson are extremely challenging and really sound down the concepts into your mind. For example, on the chapter dealing with arrays, including sorting and searching, one of the exercises is to rewrite the QuickSort algorithm that Microsoft uses natively in the Array.Sort method. This exercise really impressed on me how to get the most out of recursive functions, and how to build efficient procedures.

Currently, I'm only about 400 pages into this 1500+ book, but I'm eagerly looking forward to finishing it. To be honest, I think this book is better than taking an instructor-led course. I can't wait for Advance VB.NET to come out from Deitel so I can tackle that as well.

Bottom line, buy this complete course. You won't regret it.


The worst computer book ever written   November 25, 2002

This maybe the worst computer book ever written. The authors have a way of making even the simplest things complex. I surely can not recommend this book.
