After an introduction to abstract data types and their initial implementation using structures, Michael McMillan analyzes standard OOP topics, including class design, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implementation of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET. More advanced OOP topics are covered as well (reflection, object persistence, and serialization.) Finally, he demonstrates OOP techniques for standard Windows applications; for database applications using ADO.NET; for Web-based applications using ASP.NET; and for Windows service applications.

Review
"...it is written clearly, and any student who has successfully completed a programming course in any language should be able to use it as a stepping-stone into the world of applications programming in Microsoft's dot-NET framework. Recommended." S.L. Tanimoto, University of Washington, Choice
"Beginning with an overview of the syntax and primary constructs of the VB.NET language, the book elaborates standard object-oriented programming topics including class, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implementation of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET...All in all, the book will help VB users to develop a firm understanding of object-oriented programming in VB.NET."

Book Description
Michael McMillan provides a complete presentation of the object-oriented features of the Visual Basic.NET language. Beginning with an introduction to abstract data types and their initial implementation using structures, he explains standard OOP topics including class design, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implemention of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET. More advanced OOP topics are included as well, such as reflection, object persistence, and serialization. Finally, he demonstrates OOP techniques for standard Windows applications, for database applications using ADO.NET, for Web-based applications using ASP.NET, and for Windows service applications.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Very Basic,
By
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic.NET (Paperback)
After the previous glowing reviews of this book I bought it hoping to get some special insite in OO. If you have any experience with VB.NET this is just a review. I have gleened much deeper conceptual understaning of OO from fellow programmers. If you are brand new to VB.NET this might be an OK book. I was dissappointed in the lack of depth.

Great start with the basics,
By V. Cuthrell (Louisville, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic.NET (Paperback)
Not being a programmer by profession this book offers the best place to start with programming-- organization. Although OOP offers other benefits, organization of thought and process is one of the more important aspects given by OOP. Very clearly written and for the most part "just the facts".

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great platform to learn Object Oriented Programming,
By
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic.NET (Paperback)
This is the first technical book that I've finished cover to cover, from a list of many that I've purchased. Mike McMillan explains the basics of Object Oriented programming in a .NET environment in a concise manner that is easy to understand and follow. At the end of each chapter there's exercises to complete, giving you the chance to practice hands-on, the material covered.
This book provides a great platform for those wanting to move from a procedural based style of programming to one that is object based. I highly recommend it.
