Summary: Broken Promises
Comment: Looked promising but the early code examples failed to run as predicted. The book assumes that they will and offers no help when they do not. Several code example failures, no response to emails requesting help, days of frustration and I was off looking for another book.

Summary: The "Visual" Approach is Superb
Comment: (By Edward Trimnell, author of "Why You Need a Foreign Language & How to Learn One," ISBN: 1591133343)

The novice programmer is historically faced with three choices:

1. Simple "beginner's" books that only teach the basics
2. Telephone book-sized manuals that are written for pros
3. Expensive training videos

This book is a perfect alternative (or supplement) to the above three items. The abundance of screen shots enables the reader to completely understand the entire process. At the same time, the book does not skimp on technical details. If you work through the entire book, you will acquire a strong basis for more difficult VB.net texts.

Summary: Great Intro to Visual Studio and .NET Programming...
Comment: I am a web developer that wanted to learn how to get into the .NET game. This book was a great start. It quickly helped me learn how to use Visual Studio as well as how to start programming in VB. 70% of the book uses windows forms in the examples, 20% of the book uses web forms, and 10% uses console related examples. Overall, I really like the book and would recommend it to anyone that needed a starting point in .NET and Visual Studio. I only wish that the sections on web based (asp.net) forms were expanded. Unfortunately the asp.net counterpart to this book is written in C# by another author and is no where near as good as this book... bummer!
