[This is a one-time announcement that I hope will be of value to this
community]
I am proud to announce the immediate availability of "Programmin g Visual
Basic 2005," published by O'Reilly Media (ISBN 0-596-00949-6).
This book is targeted directly at the VB6 programmer who is interested in
moving to .NET, and who wants immediate productivity without hype and
without wasting time.
This is *not* your average programming book, and frankly, it is not like any
book I've written before. My goal was to meet the needs of a very specific
set of programmers: VB6 programmers who want to create Windows and Web
applications, and who want the core knowledge: the 90% you do 90% of the
time, maximizing use of the tools and with a focus on productivity. (Novice
programmers should find the book accessible as well, with a primer on VB in
the back to bring you up to speed).
You can read about the book and find a free support discussion forum, source
code, errata, FAQ, etc. on my web site (http://www.LibertyAssociates.com -
click on Books) where you can also buy the book at a deep discount.
About.com recently posted an objective (and not entirely positive!) review:

I hope you will take a look. I believe there are over a million VB
programmers waiting for the right book and the right moment to make the
switch. I'm very eager to be part of that effort, and will be working on and
announcing a series of articles and related materials to assist in the
transition.
Thank you for your consideration,
