Mastering Visual Basic .NET is the update to the best-selling Mastering Visual Basic 6, by Evangelos Petroutsos. Because of the enormous changes introduced by .NET, Petroutsos has rewritten his book from the ground up. In contrast to some other large VB.NET books, Petroutsos is the only author of the Mastering. For the reader, the benefit is a unified author voice and continuity in the examples, which is not found in many other big books on VB. And the examples are not trivial. Instead of using simplistic examples to demonstrate isolated points, Petroutsos shows actual applications and ties them together.
The book goes into highly specific detail about topics given short shrift in other books. For example, Petroutsos goes beyond showing you how to populate an array; he also shows how to save the array to a disk file. In the printing chapter, he doesn’t just show how to print a few lines of text; he shows how to print a text file (including the logic to break long lines), and how to print tabular data and bitmaps.
Mastering Visual Basic .NET is the perfect book for upgraders from VB6 and includes special “VB6 to VB.NET” sidebars throughout, which highlights special points for upgraders. The book is suitable for beginners who have had some programming experience, but goes well beyond the basics, covering Windows Forms, Web Forms, and database programming with ADO.NET. Readers who want more in-depth coverage of database and Web programming can go on to Mastering Visual Basic .NET Database Programming (by Petroutsos and Asli Bilgin) and Mastering ASP.NET with VB.NET (by Russell Jones).
