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.

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".

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.

I had the privalege of studying under Mr. McMillan when he was preparing for this book. Each one of the concepts and topics in the book were covered in class. Mr. McMillan is an excellent teacher and communicator--two essential qualities for a programming book. Whether you are a VB rookie or have a background in pre-OO Vb, this book is a quick, competant and very readable guide on how to learn and best mould VB.NET to your demands.
