.NET Books

Are there any good books on VB.NET from the point of view
of a beginner?

The VB.NET core reference by Franseco Balena is a must
have. Coding Techniquest for Visual Basic .NET by John
Connell is another wonderful resource. The ADO.NET Core
Reference by David Sceppa is one more that you can't live
without.

All of them are great books and while they assume some
programming experience, I think newcomers to .NET as well
as advanced programmers can find a lot of help in them.

Good Luck,

Bill

Hi. I posted yesterday asking if C# lived up to the hype. Thus far the feedback has been all positive. (Thanks.) Can anyone suggest GOOD books for learning C# and the Visual Studio .NET IDE? If there is a book that covers both, that would be great. Also, is it necessary for me to learn a lot about the .NET framework that wouldn't also be covered in one of the books? If I can find a book that'll get me up and running with the IDE...

I've been on a mission this past year to move from VB6 to .Net. I'm fortunate(!?) not to have the big catalog of some long-time VB developers, although I have some CE apps that have to be entirely rewritten in CF. A lot of what I develop has to be written for the PPc, so I knew I would be looking for information in .Net, ADO.Net, CF -- and SQL Server. So in the spirit that others might benefit from my journey, here are my observations....

http://www.icarusindie.com/Literature/ebooks/ Rather than advocating wasting money on expensive books for beginners, here's my collection of ebooks that have been made freely available on-line by their authors. There are lots of them out there but this selection cuts out the junk. If you know of any other good books that are freely available please post a link to them here and I'll consider adding them to the site.

I am looking for VB.Net books which provide a lot of exercises (preferrably with all the answers worked out on CD). In earlier reactions Ken Tucker and M.Posseth recommended a few books. Thanks for both of your reactions. Ken included the links, so it is clear which books he recommended (I will get them!) M.Posseth recommended "the complete MCSD self paced training kit" and "Programming Microsoft Visual Basic form Francesco Balena",...

What you can't find in programing text books Professional software development needs more knowledge than language syntax, OOP, styles, etc. There are many things which people usually learn by working in industry. One important part of the development is good knowledge of tools such as compilers, linkers, and make file design. There are no in-dept discussion of these tools in C/C++ programming text books. I haven't

Hello everyone. I'm working on a program which uses a class (Shelf) and a struct (Book). In the main program we declare an array (Library) which is of type shelf. The program takes in various info about books (author, title, isbn, etc) and then allows you to search for books starting with a certain letter, and in turn displays those books and the info on them. At this point I can enter the info, and display the info for 1 book. I'm confused...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
