I’ve seen a bit of talk on the blogs about Paul Vicks new book, ”The Visual Basic .NET Programming Language”, so when I came across it at the book store I figured I would take a peek. I opened up a random part of the book, to a chapter titled “Delegates and Event Implementation”. There was nothing particularly new to me in this section; but by the way it was written, and the content provided, it actually made me feel more confident in my vb.net knowledge just after a couple minutes of reading. It was very much more of a “why and how it works” description, then just a quick overview and example like many other books. So I bought it.

Coming from a mostly <=VB6 background, there are still several OOP techniques that I have been trying to perfect, and this book certainly helped me get to the next level. And it’s not that the book is written for people with advance knowledge of vb.net, it’s just that it has the right information, which makes it not only a great book for beginners, but also for those that are already deep in the language and still looking to have some basic questions answered.

Also, it’s rare to find a programming book that reads as smoothly, and has as easy-on-the-eyes text as this book does.

Good job Paul, highly recommended.
