Summary: In-line Writing Style
Comment: This is the worst programming textbook I have yet seen. It requires the student to read each chapter from start to finish, because one cannot just go to a subject of interest and learn it. The writing style is completely in-line. I found I had to re-read sections many times to ascertain what the authors were trying to say, and the code examples were not self-contained. While I am not a programmer by training, I have taken a course in Java and many other courses. This book also focused too much on databases to my taste, but others may find that emphasis useful. Even the teacher who selected it said he made a mistake.

Summary: Got programming experience? This ties up all the loose ends.
Comment: I am a student in information systems at a major university. I do tutoring (for Visual Basic .NET students). While sitting in the professor's office whom I am tutoring for, I often look through her (gigantic) collection of ~1000 Information Technology (IT) books.
I have been programming ASP for ~5 years, and started ASP.NET ~6 months ago. Making the leap from VB Script (advanced as I was) to Visual Basic .NET full blown object oriented programming was a big step.
This book made that step complete. After going through dozens of books on the subject (visual basic .net, C#, asp.net, etc) this book starts with the most necessary things you need to know.
It is really designed for those it says; "advanced". If you have no prior programming experience, then look elsewhere. But this book will throw you right into the best features of Visual Basic .NET, especially those features you might not pick up on at first when you are switching from another language.

Summary: Diffucult Read
Comment: This book does not flow or build your knowledge in an orderly fashion. You are left to figure things out. Which defeats the purpose of a book. This is a very hard to read book as far as programming books go. The authors could have spent more time "dividing and concurring" the subject matter than just providing the information in chunks for you to workout. I would prefer that my teacher chose a different book. Sincerely.
