Much better than I expected...
I got my money's worth. He really packs a lot of information into 45+ pages. He pretty much goes blow-by-blow each feature and then gives his impression as to who the winner is. At the end, he addresses his recommendations for Java, C++, and Visual Basic programmers. Although programmers familiar with other languages aren't specifically addressed, this is still a good read and you'll know more about .NET than a lot of people who use C# (and think VB.NET is missing a lot of features, like I did).

For someone who writes Visual Basic books almost exclusively, Mr. Appleman actually seemed to overcompensate for this potential bias towards VB.NET. (I agree 100% with his final opinion on the last page regarding how one should choose languages.)

I'm a C# programmer who was thinking of trying out Visual Basic.NET (Basic was the 1st language I learned back when I was in gradeschool on my Commodore 64). Clearly, Basic has come a long way. Based on what I've learned from this book, Visual Basic.NET actually EDGES out C# in my humble opinion. However, that's not the answer he gives.

I think I'll use Visual Basic.NET in my spare time.

Dan's obviously a prolific writer, but his musings here simply were not up to his usual standard. Everything boils down to 'it's a matter of personal preference' and 'if you're a vb6 programmer, don't be intimidated into learning c#.'

I've been using .net for almost a year, and while I found myself agreeing with his points, I would not have understood them as a .net newbie. Maybe a better title would have been "vb.net vs. c# - where are the differences."

Perhaps because you can find that free in about 100 different places on the web?

Choices, choices...
Overall a good comparison of VB .NET and C#. The author has a good deal of knowledge on both languages. His technique of comparison is both fair and accurate. He highlights advantages of one language over the other and why one might choose one over the other.
