Seasoned in VB6 Prg. had trouble with VB.NET until this book
I was a little frustrated with myself in trying to pick up .NET development. After all, I could code VB6 w/o effort, but I was struggling to find a book that would be more than a beginners guide but that would help get me locked into solid .NET development using Winforms. Chris Sells, Windows Forms Programming in Visual Basic .NET, was the book I was looking for. From learning the basics of the new .NET Winforms, Controls, and IDE to more advanced concepts new to VB programmers such as inheritance, multithreading, and useful tips and hints, this book covers a great deal. I especially enjoyed the straightforward style of writing used in this book that avoided unnecessary commentary, rants, or other footnotes that many authors feel the need to add but that dont help much with learning the concepts at hand. This is a great book and I would highly recommend it both for the beginner and the experienced looking for a great presentation that will help in your quest to learn Smart Client development using VS.NET.
