Synopses & Reviews
In their book, Programming VB.NET: A Guide for Experienced Programmers, Gary Cornell and Jonathan Morrison carefully explain the features of what is, for all practical purposes, a new language. This careful treatment of language features, patterned on Cornell's best-selling Core Java Volume 1 is necessary because although VB.NET looks like BASIC, it is really a language in the Java/C# family from a semantic point of view. This means all features of the language will need explaining to the programming coming from a previous version of VB. This book carefully explains all the new features of VB.NET, including Inheritance, Interfaces, Object Construction and Destruction, Streams, Multi-Threading Programming, and much more. When readers finish this book, they will have a firm grasp on the exciting VB.NET language and will be ready to move on to application-building strategies and concepts.
