When Microsoft introduced the Visual Basic .NET programming language,
as part of its move to the .NET Framework two years ago, many
developers willingly made the switch. Millions of others, however,
continued to stick with Visual Basic 6. They weren’t ready for such a
radical change, which included an object-oriented environment similar
to Java. They liked the old Visual Basic just fine.
In an effort to win over those diehard VB6 developers, the company has
included a new version of VB.NET in its upcoming next generation
release of the Visual Studio .NET development platform. Visual Basic
2005 comes with innovative language constructs, new compiler features,
dramatically enhanced productivity and an improved debugging
experience. The language’s new version is now available in beta
release, and Microsoft is encouraging developers to give it a test
drive.

Visual Basic 2005: A Developer’s Notebook provides the ideal test
track. With nearly 50 hands-on projects, this practical introduction
to VB 2005 will bring you up to speed on all the new features of this
language by allowing you to work with them directly. The book
summarizes the changes that VB 2005 brings, and tells you how to
acquire, install and configure the beta version of VB 2005 SDK. Each
project or experiment explores a different feature, with emphasis on
changes that can increase productivity, simplify programming tasks,
and help you add new functionality to your applications.

This one-of-a-kind book also offers suggestions for further
experimentation, links to on-line documentation and other sources of
information, and practical notes and warnings from the author.

The new Developer’s Notebooks series from O’Reilly offers an in-depth
first look at important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing
example over explanation and practice over theory, they focus on
learning by doing you’ll get the goods straight from the masters, in
an informal and code-intensive style. For those who want to get up
speed with VB 2005 right away, this is the perfect all lab, no lecture
guide.
