Book Overview:

With over 1.3 million developers in North America and 4 million worldwide, Visual Basic is the most popular development tool on the market today. Though the transition from VB 6 to VB .NET has been slow since its release in late 2001, this revolutionary and powerful programming language is moving out of the early adopter stage and into general acceptance by the bulk of the developer audience. Teach Yourself VB .NET in 21 Days, 2/E is designed to be the new market leader, written to make VB .NET more accessible than ever before. Currently most books on the market approach VB .NET theoretically, with chapters like Object Syntax Introduction, Syntactical Types, and Applying Objects and Assemblies. The approach for this book is from the practitioner's point of view -task-oriented, full of examples, and written in an easy-to-understand way. From Windows and Web forms to Windows and Web services, this book presents relevant and practical material for the everyday VB .NET coder. Visual Basic .NET is available as part of Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET suite of developer tools ($1,079 to $2,499) or as a standalone product ($109 before MS rebates).
