I
will recommend this book mostly for beginners with VB.NET and/or ASP.NET. The
amazing in this book is the mixture of VB.NET chapters and ASP.NET chapters,
which makes life difficult for readers that are looking only for ASP.NET
tutorials or only for VB.NET tutorials. I think it will be nice if the book
contains two separate parts: one for VB.NET and the other one for ASP.NET.
Plus, a common (e.g. Appendix) one for ADO.NET.

The
book provides a good introduction about .NET platform. It also mentions very
helpful hints that reflect the author skills and his hands-on .NET
technology. However, the book contains 741 pages and only 8 chapters, which
makes almost all chapters too long to read. The book displays plenty of
screenshots, but unfortunately they took almost one half page. The source
codes are excellent but without comments and in some examples the source code
covers more than three pages. The reader needs more efforts to keep in focus
or to find what he/she is looking for. The author covers many good topics in
both VB.NET as well as ASP.NET. The author has mentioned the pillars of
Object Oriented Programming along with VB.NET as well as he explained Web Services
along with ASP.NET.
