Summary: Good stuff
Comment: I found this book to be very helpful! It is an excellent source of information for the VB6 developer making the transition to .NET. The OOP chapter was great. It's great for learning to use the IDE and other related features. In reference to the last review: I found that there are revisions and a feedback loop available at the website.

Summary: Good info, poor proofreading
Comment: I read this book cover to cover, and worked through virtually all the examples. There's a lot of good information here, but proofreading is poor, and more information is needed to get some of the more complex sample code (provided at the author's web site) operational on one's local machine. That's rather frustrating after making a large investment in studying the text.
Most of the textual content of the book is well-written and helpful. Chapter 6, "Using ASP.NET Web Controls", is a bit garbled and buggy.
The web page for downloads related to the book currently has no errata section, in spite of the existence of plenty of errata. Perhaps one reason there is no list is that no easy way is provided to contact the authors or publisher with bug reports.
For a five-star rating from me this book would need:
(1) Another proofreading pass, with emphasis on making sure code examples work (with thought given to conditions on local machines that might cause particular ones not to work); and
(2) An active feedback loop between readers and the author. A discussion forum for reader-to-reader interaction would be helpful, too.
Rating: 5
Summary: Thanks for a Fantastic Read!!!
Comment: This was a delightful book to read. I am a very seasoned VB6/ASP Developer who is about to get his feet wet with .NET. Your book provides the direction I need to make a comfortable transition...Your examples were of the level I anticipated, and your dialog made it very easy to follow along.
My hat goes off to all of the authors who created this very readable and worthwhile book! Thanks so much!
