Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008 in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit Review

I love this book! The only programming I had had was Basic back in 1984-85 so obviously I am starting from the beginning. I needed basics (like general definitions, logic of how programming works, and specifics for how the Visual Basic works) so I could understand the programmers I work with. After reading and going through the exercises in this book, I can speak the same language and I've even been able to do automation for my quality assurance testing.
BTW - took me about 2 1/2 weeks to get through it all ;-)

The Book of VB .NET: .NET Insight for VB Developers Review

The unique cover of this book caught my eye and the excellent writing kept me reading.
Experienced VB developers will immediately be thankful to Matthew MacDonald for assuming his audience is VB savvy and in no mood to again be 'introduced' to the concept of the IDE and the If-Then-Else statement. The author begins his book with an introduction of the philosophical differences between the .NET framework and classic Visual Studio. He then moves onto .NET terminology and concepts. To his credit, Mr. MacDonald does a good job of addressing the 'why' questions one might have of .NET before introducing the 'how-to' solutions. Personally, this put me into a .NET comfort zone, which I expect, many .NET first-time users will appreciate. The author intentionally steers away from building useless 'Hello World' applications and instead focuses on piecemeal snippets of code that highlight exactly the topic at hand. I've purchased many technical books on a variety of subjects and, by far, this one has been the most readable.
In my opinion, this is a must-have for experienced VB programmers who want an introduction to the philosophy, concepts, jargon and syntax of the .NET framework and VB.NET.
