Title: Does many things, badly
Product review: I'm new to VB, whereas this book intends to explain VB.NET to developers who were familiar with earlier versions of VB. Even though that probably retards my learning, I'm still convinced this book fails. Imagine, nothing but brief code fragments, and no hands-on exercizes, until page 219?? Actually, there are no hands-on exercises even at that point, just source code for some apps on a small CD.Every chapter is skimpy, every chapter leaves something out. This book is too clumsy to help beginners and too incomplete to help competent developers.I learned some VB.NET, and I'm continuing to learn it, but not with this book - with the MSDN documentation on the web. That's not how it should be when you buy a book.
