Title: Great writing, bad errors
Review: For those of you jumping into VB.NET for the first time, and specifically PROGRAMMING for the first time, this book is a very quick way to get your feet wet.The writing style is informal and approachable. I also found myself marking the book in several places to make it usable as a quick reference to common activities (particularly where they differ from VB6).However, the comments regarding errors are spot-on. I tried running the app (the one you build in the book using DataSets) from the book's CD-ROM even, and it didn't work! I quit reading after this, leaving a few chapters left. Unfortunately Hungry Minds doesn't seem to want to fix the problem???Starts good, ends bad. Get the Microsoft Step-by-step book instead...
