Summary: Great source of Learning VB.NET and ASP.NET for all
Comment: I have been a Visual Basic 6 developer for 2 years and wanted to make a transition to VB.NET and to learn more on ASP.NET web applications programming. I decided to try this books and found it very helpful, it is very precise in regards to the topic under discussion and the tutorials accompanied with the Chapters are very good as well. The reader gets a complete picture of the topic and only after completing the topics in the book can manage to write it's own source code without any need from any other source. The Comprehensive edition of the book is more indepth for the ASP.NET and database programming concepts using ADO.NET. Definately a good book for beginners and middle level programmers.

Summary: Great for responsible and interested learners!
Comment: I have been using this book in concert with another book to teach a two-semester course that covers an introduction to programming logic and design and business programming to MIS students. I have to say that it is like all textbooks, it is not perfect. It could go a little deeper on the explanations of code segments and probably should include additional topics like XML processing and Web services.For these reasons it received 4 stars instead of 5. However, for those of you that have dismissed this text, both students and instructors, you entirely missed the point and utility of the text. The style of presentation is wonderful and not disjointed. Students that complain about this text are unwilling to play a little 'connect the dots' on their own and teachers that want to cater to this type of student should rethink their strategy. If you want a textbook that will hold your hand and keep you from having to think too hard, then try another book. For the faint of heart I suggest the book by Zak and practically anyone else. The Bradley and Millspaugh books were on their way to being on the same level as Ekedahl and Newman, but missed the boat.

Summary: Poorly Organized and Non-Functional Examples
Comment: This is one of the worst books I've used to teach a programming language course. I'm sorry I let the university talk me into using it. The book is organized around examples rather than concepts. As a result, each chapter is full of a disjointed collection of concepts -- a poor idea for an introductory programming course. In addition, many examples do not work, forcing the instructor to debug the examples. If you're looking for a good introductory book for Visual Basic .Net, I suggest "Visual Basic .Net How to Program", 2nd Ed (ISBN: 0130293636) by Dietel, Dietel, and Nieto.
