VB2003 Book??

[Don]

Can anyone recommend a good book for learning to use VB2003? I'm
interested in something like Rocky Lhotka's "Business Object" books.

I know he wrote one for VB2005 but I'd like a VB2003 specific book if
a good one exists.

Thank you,

Don-

I could be wrong (as I don't own it) but I am pretty sure the apress book:
Expert One-on-One Visual Basic .NET Business Objects by Mr. Lhotka is for
..NET 1.x

I have his newer book, the one for .NET 2.0 and in the text, when mentioned,
it seems as if this is the case.

Maybe on Lhotka's site, forumns or on amazon or bookpool or some other book
site you could find out for sure.

btw, if your into BO's / CSLA - Rocky and the DotNetRocks guys have quite a
few podcasts and even a couple DNR TV shows covering some of the older and
new CSLA stuff.

Hi Tony,

I'm not necessarily into "BO's / CSLA". I've got quite a few ebooks
that explain the individual functions in the .Net Framework Class
Library but I would like to see something that gives some perspective
on real world ways to actually use the FCL to create applications.

Thank you for your tips.

I would start with the Microsoft MSDN download of "101 applications..."
Do search for this on the downloads/MSDN section of the Microsoft site.

Some of the examples of more basic than other but even with those, with a
little imagination you could see were they would fit in on real business
world applications.

Hello Don,

Can anyone recommend a good book for learning to use VB2003? I'm
interested in something like Rocky Lhotka's "Business Object" books.

I know he wrote one for VB2005 but I'd like a VB2003 specific book if
a good one exists.

If you are just learning VB, I would recommend you skip 2003 and jump to
2005. The MSPress intro book is free online at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/lea...introtovb2005/.

If you must work with 1.x, you might want to check out Francesco Balena's
book at http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/5199.aspx.

If you want to work up to Rocky's business object books (he does have one
for .Net 1.x), Deb Kurata just released her first Doing Objects book for
..Net. See http://www.amazon.com/Objects-Visual...5998536&sr=1-1

That Deb Kurata book was great! It was a really pragmatic view of objects,
and how to build a 3-layer application, complete with examples that show
you how to work through the whole process.
