Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is now a reality with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET. This hands-on reference teaches professional programmers the proven, real-world strategies for constructing rich, object-oriented frameworks for complex business applications-faster and more efficiently. Focusing on a crucial problem many businesses face today, the shortage of skilled application developers, this book details how to quickly create reusable code components using Visual Basic.NET. All the book's code examples are contained on a companion CD-ROM.

Putting it all together,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OOP: Building Reusable Components with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)
The .Net framework is huge. After professionally developing several web projects I had the nuts and bolts pretty much nailed. However, putting it all together into a sound model/approach is tough.I wish I'd read this book earlier on because it would have saved me a lot of pain. After you're past the novice stage and have a handle on the VB.Net syntax and object model, this book is the next step. It contains lots of code snippets and you can download their entire code library used to build the sample apps but the real key here is learning a sound methology. One review was critical of their approach. I disagree with his comments. This book offers not only a sound approach to application design using .Net (with some concentration on web development), n-tier architecture is accepted practice. The book offers a sound VB.Net implementation. Of course, it's hardly the only way and is a tad simplistic for the real world intranet apps I'm working on. But it should help intermediate programmers put it all together to move to the next level. My only complaint is that I wish it contained more code details, some broader coverage, and was more advanced. But that's a personal gripe because by the time I'd picked this up I'd personally grown past its content through the school of hard knocks.

#2 VB.NET book on my list,
By Rudy (Tropical Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OOP: Building Reusable Components with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)
I have only read 9 books related to vb.net and most of them seem to be a copy of the MSDN library. This book is underrated but I found this book to be precise what I needed. It gives real world solutions, exploiting many of the .NET framework classes. While in other books only two or three chapters are of value this book is withinh the TOP on my list. This book is different because you are creating a full enterprise application, building different classes with specific purposes and then putting it together to have an End-product. It is this putting together that will help you understand the potentials of VB.NET

TOO MANY BAD PRACTICES,
By A Customer
This review is from: OOP: Building Reusable Components with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Paperback)
First of all, this book has almost nothing to do with OOP. It has some useful tidbits, such as using custom (server) controls to reduce coding and to increase standardization. However, I cannot recommend this title because of the many poor practices and bad application design it advocates. Why Microsoft Press doesn't insist it's title have some consistency in the use of naming standards, coding standards, application design, etc., is beyond me. The application design is poor or maybe the examples are just poorly done. The business layer doesn't appear to enforce any business rules while the data-access layer is also unconventially designed. Only one-third of this book (regarding server controls and UI design) is of any use. The rest is just junk.
