This book is perfect for the experienced VB 6 programmer looking to quickly get up to speed on VB.NET. The information is relevant, concise, and explained using an easy to understand manner without being condescending.
The book itself is a little short on details. This works out okay because the book uses CodeNotes Pointers that connect you to more detailed information on the CodeNotes.com web site. I really liked this feature as it allowed me to decide when and where I wanted more details. The information on the web site is just as useful and clear as the book itself; very well done.
The only thing that stops me from giving 5 stars to this book is the numerous typographical errors. These are the type of errors that a spell checker wouldn't catch, but a human editor should. There are times when this can make a sentence or two difficult to understand, but it only detracts from the overall content slightly.
At about 200 pages, I would recommend this book to any VB developer looking to get up and running with VB.NET over a weekend. Hopefully, future editions will clean-up the book's typo problems.
