Summary: A solid Intro for intermediate - advanced programmers
Comment: This book is just what it says, and introduction. I found it useful for my purpose, to get a broad and deep enough "working understanding" of VB.NET.
It is a broad introduction, covering lots of advanced topics such as exceptions, hash tables, threading, .NET framework, etc. There are code examples for everything the author talks about and downloadable source code. This is a good book as long as it's used for it's intended purpose.
It is not a tutorial, in fact unless you are familiar with object oriented programming, threading, etc. much of this book may be too daunting. However, if you know Java or C++ you'll be able to devour this book. You know, at times I felt as if I was reading a Java book - the similarities in VB.NET are so striking.
Once so devoured however you will not find this book a satisfying reference for "big league" coding. You'll need to know much more about Visual Studio.NET and .NET framework for your serious applicaion development. Also I expect there tons of tiny tidbits about the language that a good reference would have. The index is disappointing - 8 pages for over 650 pages of text - but this is the rule, not the exception in these things. There are also no appendicies summarizing the language.

Summary: Easy to understand BUT..........
Comment: this book wastes over 10 chapters producing command line applications, useful for teaching the basic concepts may be but this is VISUAL basic not "commandline-basic", it does explain the basic concepts though

Summary: I like this book so much
Comment: After browsing and comparing a dozen of VB.NET books in bookstore, I decided to order this book on Amazon.com. After read a half of the book, I like it very much for its step-by-step manner, clear explanation of important concepts, good organization of materials, and good code examples/case studies. In addition, this book has a "sister book" on C# written by the same author (Introduction to C# Using .NET). There are so many similarities between those 2 books. When you finish one or two chapters on one book you can easily learn the similar stuff in the other book.
