1. I like this book because this book provides in-depth introductions to VB.NET language and to Windows Forms.This book introduces object-oriented concepts early and includes a case study on object-oriented programming. This book is appropriate for programmers who do not already have a strong background in object-oriented programming. This book is perfect for programmers who have basic knowledge in languages such as Visual Basic and COBOL programmers. But previous knowledge of Visual Basic is not indispensable.This book is not only for the beginners but also aims for experienced programmers by providing a concrete, concise and in-depth introduction to VB.NET with a lot of example programs.

   The book presents the concept of object-oriented programming and talk about the important elements of object-oriented analysis and includes a case study. this book clearly defines in-depth, example-rich and provides a hands on introduction to the VB.NET using .NET. Using real-world examples and a detailed case study, this book helps you to master in VB.NET from the ground up or rapidly migrate to VB.NET from earlier versions of Visual Basic. I have recommended this book to others.

3. After browsing and comparing a dozen of VB.NET books in bookstore, I decided to order this book on Amazon.com. After read a half of the book, I like it very much for its step-by-step manner, clear explanation of important concepts, good organization of materials, and good code examples/case studies. In addition, this book has a "sister book" on C# written by the same author (Introduction to C# Using .NET). There are so many similarities between those 2 books. When you finish one or two chapters on one book you can easily learn the similar stuff in the other book.



4. this book wastes over 10 chapters producing command line applications, useful for teaching the basic concepts may be but this is VISUAL basic not "commandline-basic", it does explain the basic concepts though



5. This book is just what it says, and introduction. I found it useful for my purpose, to get a broad and deep enough "working understanding" of VB.NET.

   It is a broad introduction, covering lots of advanced topics such as exceptions, hash tables, threading, .NET framework, etc. There are code examples for everything the author talks about and downloadable source code. This is a good book as long as it's used for it's intended purpose.

   It is not a tutorial, in fact unless you are familiar with object oriented programming, threading, etc. much of this book may be too daunting. However, if you know Java or C++ you'll be able to devour this book. You know, at times I felt as if I was reading a Java book - the similarities in VB.NET are so striking.

   Once so devoured however you will not find this book a satisfying reference for "big league" coding. You'll need to know much more about Visual Studio.NET and .NET framework for your serious applicaion development. Also I expect there tons of tiny tidbits about the language that a good reference would have. The index is disappointing - 8 pages for over 650 pages of text - but this is the rule, not the exception in these things. There are also no appendicies summarizing the language.

2 comments about Visual Basic: An Object-Oriented Approach.

1. I have searched through numerious books on Visual Basic, many targeting the object oriented aspects of the language. I found many that showed the general theory behind OOP and gave numerious examples, but none truely taught how to approach writting a program in Visual Basic from an object oriented mindset. This book does just that.

   This book introduces the reader to building programs in class modules first and not the traditional approach of writing programs centered around form/code mudules. This later approach was used in all the other Visual Basic books I have read. The reader is not even intoduced to forms/controls till much later in the book.

   Two of the biggest complaints that the programming community has for Visual Basic is that it is not a true object oriented language and it leads to sloppy programming. First, the author states that Visual Basic is not a C++/JAVA OOP language, it is a Visual Basic OOP language. That means it lacks many things that C++ has but offers others in return. Second, the approach of this book forces the reader to learn code first, then fancy controls second. This leads to writting better structured code.

   In conclusion, I have wasted alot of time and money finding this book. It is [spendy], but as many of you know, so is buying 3 or 4 books in search of the right one. In addition, once you gained that obect oriented mindset and want to add the fancy controls that Visual Basic offers, I strongly recommend Programming MS Visual Basic 6.0 by Francesco Balena. Any library containing these two books is pretty much covered.




2. As a former student of the author, I can only say that I really benefitted from his ability to focus on the idea of Object Oriented Programming and to work within that context with Visual Basic.
   This book takes the reader full circle through Objects in Visual Basic with unparalled clarity and understanding.
   This is a great book for starters and for Visual Basic Programmers who need a higher grasp of OOP.

2 comments about Migrating to Visual Basic .NET.

1. The number of changes that Microsoft implemented when they went from Visual Basic 6.0 to the .NET Framework are huge. This book takes you through the steps to not only convert your current code, but to get you into the correct mind set to program in the .NET architecture.

   The examples in the book are clear for the basic programmer to learn from, and at the same time cover all of the steps one needs to be aware of to make a successful program.

   This definitely should be your first book to read when planning the updating of your current code and future code plans.




2. With all that has changed from VB 6.0 to VB.NET, you need a solid starting place for our personal migration. This book provides that solid starting place with a good mix of theory and examples, organized in a very easy to follow natural progression.

   The book takes you through the basic changes to Visual Basic .Net, to the new features of the language, and finally how to make it all come together.

   The author has a solid grasp of the material and presents it in a way that allows you to get a working knowledge of VB.Net in a short amount of time.

5 comments about Visual Basic 6 Object-Oriented Programming Gold Book: Everything You Need to Know About Microsoft's New ActiveX Release.

1. The back cover subtitles this book as an "Authoritative Guide to Visual Basic 6's Most Powerful Features." This suggests an advanced programmer's handbook, a sequel to "VB in 31 Days" perhaps; and the book is not that.

   Instead, it is a well-written explanation on how to develop with Visual Basic to fit into the world of OOP, COM, and three-tier client/server. This book is more for system architects and designers than for programmers. If you have a strong interest in OOP concepts and prior understanding of VB syntax and tools, this book will help you evaluate VB for conformance to the latest software fashions. The book is one of seven in my library on VB, and I thoroughly enjoyed it after prior extensive reading of the OOP gurus. Who would ever have thought that BASIC would come to this!

   A better subtitle would have been "Grady Booch Meets Bill Gates." If you don't know both these names, you might want to stay away.

3. This book very well covers a complete foundation of Visual Basic 6.0 objects paramount to consider oneself a proficient VB architect. It starts with the basics: abstraction, polymorphism, and inheritance, and how these relate to the ActiveX/COM programming paradigm. Best practices of object design are instilled in the early chapters of the book-practices such as relational modeling and interface design. The author illustrates the usage of the many built-in wizard tools that come with VB 6.0. Object lifetime events are thoroughly explained. An example of creating a custom, type-checked collection class is provided. Advanced error trapping and recovery are covered in-depth. The later half of the book puts these foundational concepts to use when developing ActiveX components. Examples show how to link a help file to an ActiveX control. And finally, a chapter dedicated to the practice of encapsulating the Win32 API in custom-built ActiveX components is given. Overall, I would recommend this textbook to my Visual Basic students.



4. This book gave me an ability to understand principles of OOP as they are presented in MS Visual Basic. It was a different experience from what I knew and used in everyday practice as Java Programmer. Also, this was the only book that I could find that would use normal, useful examples.



5. I regret that I have bought this useless book. This book does not teach you OO concepts well. The title of this book is misleading.

   All the VB examples are not practical and cannot illustrate the power of Object Oriented Programming. Some examples on the CD-ROM contain errors and some are meaningless. It also teaches ActiveX controls and components but you still do not know how to use them after you have read it.

   I bought it because I cannot find the 'Learn to Program Objects With Visual Basic 6' by Active Path in HK. This is the worst VB book I have ever found in the bookshop.

   This book is not for beginners and advanced users too!

   I regret that I have paid for such a useless book.

1 comments about Software Development for Engineers, C/C++, Pascal, Assembly, Visual Basic, HTML, Java Script, Java DOS, Windows NT, UNIX.

1. The book is already outdated. The inclusion of Pascal was questionable, even in 1997. Outside some universities, Pascal has suffered a continual erosion of mindshare.
   
   As for the choice of JavaScript as a scripting language, that still holds true today as a good choice. It is the dominant client-side scripting language for browsers, VBScript and JScript competitors notwithstanding.
   
   The unix discussion could easily be modified to include linux. Minor changes here.
   
   As for Microsoft DOS, it is a toss up whether this might still be discussed. Perhaps it might be replaced by an explanation of .NET?

3 comments about MCAD/MCSD: Visual Basic .NET XML Web Services and Server Components Study Guide.

1. This is the third Sybex book I have purchased. The first two books I bought were for the 70-306 and 70-229 exams and they were both sufficient for those exams. Although I passed the 70-310 exam, I believe it is only because I first took the 70-306 exam which has a lot of overlap with the 70-310 exam. There were at least a half dozen questions out of 57 which were not even lightly covered in this book.

   That said, I would still recommend this book as an introduction for your preparation for the 30-310 exam. The chapter on security is very well written and is superior to the same section in the 70-305/70-306 book. You will just need to cover each topic a bit more thoroughly with other materials (perhaps reading Microsoft online documentation after each topic). This is good advice for any exam since you should have a goal of thoroughly understanding each topic as well as wanting to pass the exam.




2. Having recently passed exam 70-310 I believe this book does a satisfactory job of exposing us to the basic concepts required for the exam. Unfortunately, basic concepts are not enough for 70-310. During my month of preparation, I found I had to refer to both MSDN and "Microsoft .NET Distributed Applications" (ISBN 0735619336) for more elaborate explanations and working examples (some of the Sybex sample code did not work, and no errata appeared to be available on-line).
   
   Bottom line: if you plan to use this book to prepare for 70-310, then be prepared to supplement your studies with additional resources.
