Book description

Need to make sense of the many changes to Visual Basic for the new .NET platform? VB .NET Language in a Nutshell introduces the important aspects of the language and explains the .NET framework. An alphabetical reference covers the functions, statements, directives, objects, and object members that make up the VB .NET language. To ease the transition, each language element includes a "VB .NET/VB 6 Differences" section.
Full Description

The extensive changes to Visual Basic and the newness of the .NET platform call for a VB .NET reference guide oriented toward professional developers--those deeply experienced in Visual Basic and those adding VB .NET to their list of mastered languages. VB .NET Language in a Nutshell answers the call. As a reference book, it doesn't waste space on simple concepts, but documents, using practical examples, how language elements work, alternative approaches, optimal usage, and potential pitfalls. As a quick introduction, the first section of VB .NET Language in a Nutshell leads you through the important areas of programming VB .NET, including:

Variables and Data Types
Introduction to Object Oriented Programming
The .NET Framework: General Concepts
The .NET Framework Class Library
Delegates and Events
Error Handling

The meat of the book is the alphabetical reference to the functions, statements, directives, objects, and object members that make up the VB .NET language. As an experienced developer, you can quickly get the whole story on a language element that interests you or seems to be behaving unexpectedly in your code. To ease your transition to .NET, there's a "VB .NET/VB 6 Differences" section for each language element. A hefty appendix section includes:

What's New and Different in VB .NET
Language Elements by category
Operators
Constants and Enumerations
The VB .NET Command Line Compiler
VB 6 Language Elements Not Supported by VB .NET

No matter how much experience you have programming with VB, this is the kind of book you'll want to have close by, both as your standard reference guide and as a tool for troubleshooting and identifying programming problems.

VB .NET Language in a Nutshell Review, January 17 2002

As usual the OReilly camp has put together a valuable little gem for the software professional. There's no messing about, you have the usual purposeful intro chapters, and then the reference section that can save hours of tiresome wading thru online stuff, and still not getting an answer. Compared to a Wrox book I bought 4 months ago, where the example code just plain does not work, .Net in a Nutshell will be travelling with me, and will no doubt save me lots of time and frustration. Well done guys...

I thought this book was going to be like most reference books, however the content is perfect for VB developers looking to make the step to VB.NET. The examples are easy to understand and meaningful. A must read for thos looking to make the switch from VB 6.0 to VB.NET!

"If you are already an intermediate or advanced VB
programmer wanting to keep up with Microsoft's evolving
VB platform, this book is a handy reference you'll use many
times, probably much more often than Microsoft's own
documentation for VB.NET. I give this book five stars
out of five."
--Mitch Tulloch, swynk.com, Oct 2001

"Good intro, cuts to the chase on VB.NET features."
--Daniel W. Maltes, .NET Best Picks, amazon.com Nov 2001
