Title: Not worth it at any price.....
Review: I used this book for an advanced VB.NET course and found it to be the most difficult textbook to follow. Most subjects are skimmed over and the writing style is poor.As others have said, the writing is in line, so it is hard to link concepts together or figure out why you need to use a certain piece of code. It does a terrible job of explaining how to build a class, so look else where for instruction in this area.The database section could have been much better, and it did not help that at the time I bought the book, one of the databases was structured incorrectly, making it impossible to finish one of the case studies unless you knew how to change the db schema.Avoid this book at all costs and if it is required for a course, I would see if there are other instructors in the same subject that use a better book.
Is the review positive or negative?
