The "Visual" Approach is Superb
(By Edward Trimnell, author of "Why You Need a Foreign Language & How to Learn One," ISBN: 1591133343) The novice programmer is historically faced with three choices: 1. Simple "beginner's" books that only teach the basics
2. Telephone book-sized manuals that are written for pros
3. Expensive training videos This book is a perfect alternative (or supplement) to the above three items. The abundance of screen shots enables the reader to completely understand the entire process. At the same time, the book does not skimp on technical details. If you work through the entire book, you will acquire a strong basis for more difficult VB.net texts.

Great Intro to Visual Studio and .NET Programming...
I am a web developer that wanted to learn how to get into the .NET game. This book was a great start. It quickly helped me learn how to use Visual Studio as well as how to start programming in VB. 70% of the book uses windows forms in the examples, 20% of the book uses web forms, and 10% uses console related examples. Overall, I really like the book and would recommend it to anyone that needed a starting point in .NET and Visual Studio. I only wish that the sections on web based (asp.net) forms were expanded. Unfortunately the asp.net counterpart to this book is written in C# by another author and is no where near as good as this book... bummer!

good for beginners
There is a good book for beginners. Few things to note there are errors cropping up in his later chapters like the windows service installer excercises and asynchronous callback example, the update in edit data in datagrid. The last three chapters were very clumpsily put together in which someone with 7 years of exp cannot put together why they were even there when the explanation and example were of poor quality. Don't get me wrong, this is a very good dummies book, however after finishing the blueprint examples, a vb.net beginner wrox book would be the next book one should go for to fill in the gaps
