Description: This book is clearly targeted at the beginner programmer and makes no pretense about it. If you are new to programming or have less than say, one year's experience in Visual Basic, you will find this book to be your best friend. It will give you the confidence to understand the .NET Framework and particularly the Visual Studio IDE with a focus on VB.NET as the chosen programming language. This book actually reminds me of some early VB 2.0 books I still have lying about that took you by the hand through creating a form, sticking buttons and textboxes on it, wiring up event - handling code, and so on.
