Summary: buggy book
Comment: i bought this book to get a quick start with vb.net having c, c++ and mfc experience, i manged to get the examples to work, but i can see a beginner spedning hours trying to figure out why the sample code in lesson 6 does not work. this books practice bad programming technics in general.

Summary: Skips around too much
Comment: While the book is at a level I can understand, the author spends too much time saying "Click on this, but we won't cover it in depth until Chapter XX". It's very confusing skipping around like this and in some cases he says try some code in one chapter that will still be in your project later on when he asks you to try something else, but doesn't mention how to deal with the code you tried 3 chapters ago...Delete it or add on..if add on how do you do it?
I'm only in Session 4 but getting ready to give up and try another book.

Summary: Sample code doesn't work
Comment: Claims to teach you VB.NET in just 15 hours. In session 6 of 30, the book give you sample code that doesn't work. I spent hours reviewing for _my_ mistake and hours more reviewing web sites and newsgroups. Found the example given simply will not work, and if it did would be very poor programming practice.
Also, in order to compress all of VB concepts into a small time, the book intersperses topics into completely unrelated sections. It made reviewing and debugging very dificult. After session 6 exasperations, I bought a new book.
