Book Description:
Visual Basic.NET Unleashed is a complete book on the fundamentals of programming with a fully object-oriented language filled with new idioms and capabilities. In addition to the fundamentals, this book covers:
Free threading and multithreading
Inheritance
Virtual methods and shared methods
Structured exception handling
Event handling
Encapsulation at the namespace level
Web Services
.NET Framework compatibility

Aimed at the more experienced developer, Visual Basic .NET Unleashed will let you master the improved object-oriented capabilities of the newest version of Visual Basic quickly. Stressing "refactoring" and advanced class design features, this challenging tutorial proves that VB .NET is in the front rank of object-oriented programming languages today. The expert focus here on language features and refactoring (for efficient class design) is the hallmark of this text.
After an in-depth tutorial on the new IDE available in Visual Studio .NET, the author digs in with a fast-moving tour of VB .NET language features (including coverage of changes from VB6). The text starts with basic and then advanced topics, but its real emphasis is on advanced class design using classes and interfaces, with some excellent material on inheritance and polymorphism, as well as taking advantage of VB .NET's support for properties and reflection, among other topics. By continually advising how to rewrite classes to improve their maintainability, the author raises the bar here by presenting some tips and best practices beyond the obvious, using techniques invented by the Extreme Programming (XP) movement.
Later chapters turn to the basics of using Windows Forms and graphics programming (with GDI+), as well as ADO.NET for building database-driven Web applications. The book finishes with a nicely comprehensive listing of all VB6 to VB .NET changes, an invaluable resource for those making this transition.
If you are going to learn to design with objects, you might as well learn to do it right, this guide argues, using the expertise garnered from other programming languages. In all, this title shows how VB .NET supports basic and advanced object-oriented design features. It will be most profitably read by those with some previous object-oriented programming experience, though it will also benefit the beginner who wants to be challenged with some expert advice to get the most out of the new object support available in VB .NET. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: In-depth introduction to the Visual Studio .NET IDE (including common project tasks, configuration options, debugging, and built-in views), VB6 versus VB .NET language tutorial (including new .NET data types, variables, arrays, collections, and exception handling); extending VS .NET with macros (including Add-ins and Wizards), procedures and parameters, recursion, structures, enumerated types, reflection APIs, object-oriented design tutorial, (classes, access specifiers, properties, methods, nested classes), events in VB .NET: delegates and event handlers, inheritance and polymorphism (including interfaces), shared members, attributes (plus custom attributes); VB .NET console applications (debugging and running applications), multithreaded applications (lightweight and heavyweight threading), introduction to Windows Forms, GDI+ graphics (including basic shapes, curves and Bezier splines and images), tutorial for Web services (UDDI, DISCO, building and debugging Web services); basic Web programming with ASP.NET and ADO.NET, writing to the event log, list of changes between VB6 and VB .NET, refactoring VB code, and advice for effective object-oriented programming.
Summary: Excellent Resource for the CORE VB.NET Language. If looking for Databases with VB.NET, go get an ASP.NET book and stop whining.
Rating: 5
It doesn't matter if you're coding windows applications or web applications, this book is for you because web programmers ultimately have to know the VB.NET language! It doesn't matter if you're coding .NET 1.0, 1.1, or 2.0, this book is for you...at least until they come out with version 2. This book has taught me so much about the new OOP for VB.NET with real world explanations in a concise manor. Highly recommended even if you are one of those "I know it all, I don't need books" coder...don't be ridiculous...get this book, it's a great reference.
As another person I see in their review stated that this book lacked info on databases. This book is about the VB.NET language, not Databases! If you want more about VB.NET with Databases, that's what ASP.NET books are for!!! I can recommend many for that but this book as it's labeled is for VB.NET, the LANGUAGE!!! common people...lets wake up here.
I don't have money to waste and buy my books carefully..ones that I definitely will use and this is one of them I've used a lot.
Summary: No ADO, are you kidding me?
Rating: 1
you have to be kidding me. how do you have a book called "unleashed" and then not even go into any database usage? i dont think i have ever had to write an application that did not include some type of database usage, yet the author does not even cover it. nor does he go into forms in any detail except when it comes to web forms. where are the 2 pages it would have taken to detail how to populate a listBox? i bought this book off a sidewalk vendor for half price and i got ripped off.
Summary: There's Nothing to be unleashed! BAD BOOK

The Title says "Visual Basic .Net Unleashed"... what a title? if you want to learn Visual Basic .Net, don't buy this book. Can we use definitions in writing programs? I don't think so. I bought this book because of its title but when i started reading it, its only full of definitions, less examples.
Summary: Good book for the vb.net language
Rating: 4
This is a good book for covering the actual language of vb.net (classes, delegates etc). There isn't much content on creating win or web forms or ado.net for that matter. You will need a separate book if you want to learn these techniques.
Summary: too much effort to go thru this one!!
Rating: 1
The authors seems to know what he is talking about and
the code looks good. However the downloadable code for
this book does not carry the code to call any of the scripts
in his book.
A separate script is needed and
needs to be written by the reader to call each script and
basically test if his vb.net scripts are execute and run successfully.
This approach forces hands-on approach but seeing how large
the .net framework is, my money would have been better spent
on another book.
With the effort required by this book, it could end up to be
a waste of time if his code doesn't work in the end.
This must be one of the worst books I have purchased ...
