Visual Studio.Net All-In-One Desk Reference for Dummies

Very good, has lot's of practicle examples. A must have

I've been a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer / Trainer for several years. I've taught many courses on virtually every Microsoft technology including Back Office, Access, Visual Basic, SQL Server, etc. Presently, I'm a Senior Programmer Analyst with the world's largest publisher of fitness books (writing my first ASP.NET application).I recently picked up this Dummies book based on the fact that it covers all of the major components included with the new Microsoft product, Visual Studio .NET. The "7 Books in 1" phrase on the book's cover definitely caught my attention.I'm happy to say that I'm pleased with my purchase. Although this book does contain some typos, they do not take away from the content. This book is well formatted and flows nicely. It provides a lot of "hands-on" exercises to help you become more familiar with the power of Visual Studio .NET. This book will not make you a master. However, it will provide you with an excellent starting point with this new product. I highly recommend it for those of you who need an in-depth overview of the entire Visual Studio package and who learn better from hands-on experience versus reading dry, boring text.

The best part about this book is that it has all the necessary information to get you started on any and every language in VS .NET. For me, this book is a handy tool to learn .Net. Having done some programming in Visual Basic 6 and also ASP 3, I was eager to learn Visual Studio .NET. I started off with the VB and ASP section of the book. These sections provide a fairly advanced coverage of whatever I need to know to create my applications. And I am already on my way creating my own ASP.NET - VB application!Another section on .NET Framework provides a good introduction on .NET. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get quickly started with one or more technologies associated with VS.NET.
