It doesn't matter if you're coding windows applications or web applications, this book is for you because web programmers ultimately have to know the VB.NET language! It doesn't matter if you're coding .NET 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0, this book is for you...at least until they come out with version 2. This book has taught me so much about the new OOP for VB.NET with real world explanations in a concise manor. Highly recommended even if you are one of those "I know it all, I don't need books" coder...don't be ridiculous...get this book, it's a great reference. As another person I see in their review stated that this book lacked info on databases. This book is about the VB.NET language, not Databases! If you want more about VB.NET with Databases, that's what ASP.NET books are for!!! I can recommend many for that but this book as it's labeled is for VB.NET, the LANGUAGE!!! common people...lets wake up here. I don't have money to waste and buy my books carefully..ones that I definitely will use and this is one of them I've used a lot.

you have to be kidding me. how do you have a book called "unleashed" and then not even go into any database usage? i dont think i have ever had to write an application that did not include some type of database usage, yet the author does not even cover it. nor does he go into forms in any detail except when it comes to web forms. where are the 2 pages it would have taken to detail how to populate a listBox? i bought this book off a sidewalk vendor for half price and i got ripped off.

The Title says "Visual Basic .Net Unleashed"... what a title? if you want to learn Visual Basic .Net, don't buy this book. Can we use definitions in writing programs? I don't think so. I bought this book because of its title but when i started reading it, its only full of definitions, less examples.
