Just a guy trying to learn more
it looks like a great book but it doesn't seem very useful without the companion content. It gives the URL at MSPRESS on the back cover.
BBUUUUTTT, when you get to the download, the file is no longer available.

One of the reviews above told how to get the material another way,
it didn't work either.

Fast way to learn by example!
This is a very good book. If you like to learn by example, this book has very good useful examples to get your project `up in the air` very quickly.

This book is an ideal supplement to a reference manual and really accelerates the learning process. I got a very good price on Amazon, but this book is worth full-bang retail price in terms of pure value. I would highly recommend this book, even if someone only found 5 examples out of the 101 examples, but depending on your project, nearly every example could be applied in some way to your project(s).

Good content,,.wish it was available in C#
Good, simple components that can be used as a part of larger applications.
Good explanations.
The only negative thing that I can see is that I wish it was available in C#. But then again, it provides a new challenge to translate it without having the C# code right there in front of me.

Good book but for old version of .NET
101 Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Applications
It is a good book with a lot examples to learn from.
But examples require some extra work if you use .NET 2005

Amazing reference!
I bought this book just a few weeks ago, and WOW. Thre is such a range of information here! This book is especially targeted at programmers that aren't particularly familiar with what all VB.NET can offer.
Granted, this product does not cover any of the topic very extensivly, but that's not what it was written for. 90% of the topics covered in the book are explained in more detail in the MSDN library.
All in all, this book is one of the best ways to find great ideas to improve functionality in all your VB.NET projects.
