Better than just a good textbook for students learning Visual Basic .NET, but not my number one recommendation. I have my reservations recommending this book to a new student. For one, I am not a fan (nor recommend) the old Hungarian naming convention. The author needs to update this to align it toward Microsoft's current standards as outline at MSDN and in the book, "Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries (2nd Edition)" by Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams. Secondly, the author sometimes leaves information that should be covered in a Lesson/Exercise at the end of the chapter. Thus, you might miss valuable information if you are doing only some of the exercises. (Here's where an instructor needs to watch out for and include the correct exercise from a chapter in the student's learning.) Third, while I learned flowcharting in my earlier days of programming and still use it sometimes, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) standard might be better taught to new students to programming. Finally, the book contains very little or no information regarding some commonly used Windows Form controls, LINQ, DBContext/Entity Framework development or new features of .NET Framework 4.5. This textbook clearly needs the assistance of a competent Visual Basic .NET instructor or I fear the student and instructor will be challenged. I confess that I am still leaning toward "Simply Visual Basic 2010 (4th Edition)" by Paul Deitel for a first textbook to read at the college level or advanced hobbyist.

I needed this book for school and although it was pricey it was even more pricey in the store here on campus - I also have the software with the slides so it follows along well. - one thing was when the mail man put it in the mail box it almost ruined the book -
