Visual Basic.Net at Work: Building 10 Enterprise Projects [With CDROM]
Gain the tools to create 10 reusable enterprise projects utilizing the new features of VB.NET Going beyond the standard reference books, Tony Martin takes readers step-by-step through the process of creating ten reusable enterprise applications with the next version of Microsoft's leading programming language-Visual Basic.NET. Readers will start by building a standard application template, which will form the basis of all the projects. Martin explains how to combine VB.NET with other key technologies, such as Web Services, ASP.NET, XML, WebForms, and the Microsoft Mobile Framework, to solve the important issues corporate Visual Basic programmers face today. Microsoft Technologies CD-ROM includes complete source code for the projects in the book and the third-party tools required to build the projects. .NET Platform: The next big overhaul to Microsoft's technologies that will bring enterprise distributed computing to the next level by fully integrating the Internet into the development platform. This will allow interaction between any machine, on any platform, and on any device. Visual Basic.NET: The update to this popular visual programming language will offer greater Web functionality, more sophisticated object-oriented language features, links to Microsoft's new common runtime, and a new interface. ASP.NET: A programming framework (formerly known as Active Server Pages) for building powerful Web-based enterprise applications; can be programmed using VB.NET or C#. C#: Microsoft's new truly object-oriented programming language that builds on the strengths of C++ and the ease of Visual Basic; promises to give Sun's Java a run for its money.

Qualified Praise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
As a beginner to Visual Studio.NET, I have read and re-read sections of this book for several months now. 95% of the time I love the book and the other 5% I am frustrated and searching MSDN for clues on why something won't work. Chapter 2 is a good introduction to ADO. Not only are great practical examples given, but the authors explain the pros and cons of the alternatives for implementing something (e.g., datareader vs dataset). Chapter 6 was my first serious contact with ASP.NET. I got off to a very slow and frustrating start when the connection string to the database would not work for my system and no guidance was given on how to customize it. When I did get the connection up and the the project running, I found that the supplied database had date values that had all expired months before I bought the book. A simple note to go into the database to update the values would have saved me hours of troubleshooting. However, now that I have worked through every page of Chapter 6, I can honestly say that I have built a non-trivial Website using both XML and SQL Server data sources, postbacks, and user controls.The chapter on deployment was also very useful.
An Excellent Resource!

I was able to immediately implement the solutions in this book at work and also took advantage of the authors suggestions on improving & customizing the applications. I would recommend this book to any developer anxious to crank out some .Net apps but with little time to start from scratch.
Enterprising!

This book is a great way to dive right in to the world of VB. I really like the "meat and potatoes" approach. What can I say, it works for me. Chapter 6 is great, I love the authors style and sardonic wit. All in all, this book offers A very meaty taste of the VB world, well LINKED and with a little sauce on the side. A great addition to my technical library.
Great Projects to get Ramped Up on .NET
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
When I am learning a new technology I like practical examples. After I have worked through the concepts and syntax I need to get my hand dirty with a little more then an `Hello World' example. `Visual basic .NET at Work' is a great follow up book to all the basic books because of the real world example projects. Project number 10 is a good example; this project is a solid example of how to set up an in-house corporate information web site that can provide an expandable set of component functions. I liked Tony's friendly and approachable writing style and even more the wide variety of topics covered throughout the projects in the book. As you can already tell I highly recommend this book for those people ramping up on .NET.
