It is written especially for experienced Visual Basic programmers who use Visual Studio .NET for their development work, even those who have never written a web application before. Because the http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44086/programming-the-web-with-visual-basic-net/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44086/programming-the-web-with-visual-basic-net/ Tue, 16 Jul 2002 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Aimed at the more experienced programmer tackling the new VB .NET for the first time, Andrew Troelsen's Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Platform provides a quick-moving and intelligently rendered tour of .NET, with plenty of in-depth material on classes and object-oriented design. Notably, this book is a direct translation of the author's C# book, C# and the .NET Platform, using the same chapters and many examples ported from C# to VB .NET. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44048/visual-basic-net-and-the-net-platform-an-advanced-guide/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44048/visual-basic-net-and-the-net-platform-an-advanced-guide/ Thu, 15 Nov 2001 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Written in easy-to-understand language, this book is a must-read if you'd like to create out-of-the-ordinary, yet simple games. Authors Lobao and Hatton demonstrate the ease of producing multimedia games with Managed DirectX 9.0 and programming the games with Visual Basic .NET on Everett, the latest version of Microsoft's Visual Studio. The authors emphasize simplicity, but still explore important concepts of Managed DirectX 9. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44089/net-game-programming-with-directx-90/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44089/net-game-programming-with-directx-90/ Thu, 27 Mar 2003 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Visual Studio .NET and, more specifically, Visual Basic .NET give developers more productivity and more power to develop applications, but at the cost of a complex development environment and with a whole new set of potential bugs. Comprehensive VB .NET Debugging analyzes the new defect types that arise with VB .NET and investigates the debugging of every type of VB .NET application together with many common debugging scenarios. Author Mark Pearce shows you how to use the powerful new http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44100/comprehensive-vb-net-debugging/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44100/comprehensive-vb-net-debugging/ Mon, 28 Apr 2003 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Designed to get programmers up to professional levels as fast as possible, ADO.NET: From Novice to Pro is geared toward developers who have little or no .NET or ADO.NET experience, as well as programmers who are not yet comfortable with database programming. Best-selling author Peter Wright painlessly moves readers from simple database access to the sophisticated manipulation of XML documents. The book begins by showing you the basic architecture of ADO. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/43865/adonet-from-novice-to-pro-visual-basic-net-edition/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/43865/adonet-from-novice-to-pro-visual-basic-net-edition/ Wed, 04 Sep 2002 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Take your pick: you may either read this book cover-to-cover, or just refer to it when you want ready-made solutions of "drop-in" code. Either way, Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET, Second Edition will teach you to master ADO.NET programmatically and from within the VS. NET IDE. You will learn the concepts of disconnected data access with ADO.NET. You'll also learn to create tables, constraints, projects, stored procedures, views, and triggers. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44084/database-programming-with-visual-basic-net-second-edition/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44084/database-programming-with-visual-basic-net-second-edition/ Fri, 04 Oct 2002 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley In the late 1990s, author Rockford Lhotka wrote extensively on creating distributed, object-oriented Windows applications using Visual Basic 6, COM, and DCOM. The introduction of .NET has motivated him to revisit these themes and revise his strategy. In this book, he explains the changes introduced by .NET, the new possibilities that are emerging, and an essential tutorial on the best ways to make .NET work for you. This book is divided into three parts. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44134/expert-oneonone-visual-basic-net-business-objects/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44134/expert-oneonone-visual-basic-net-business-objects/ Wed, 11 Jun 2003 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Database Programming with Visual Basic .NET functions as a reference book. But thanks to its many listings and tables, you'll find value reading it cover to cover! This book is all you need to get started with data access in VB .NET. Author Carsten Thomsen includes step-by-step coverage of everything you ever wanted to know about ADO.NET. Thomsen also covers relational databases, Active Directory (LDAP) access, and MessageQueue. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44030/database-programming-with-visual-basic-net/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44030/database-programming-with-visual-basic-net/ Wed, 15 Aug 2001 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley As you work your way through An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Visual Basic .NET, you'll learn how to analyze the business requirements of an application, model the objects and relationships involved in the solution design and, finally, implement the solution using Visual Basic .NET. Along the way you'll also learn the fundamentals of software design, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), object-oriented programming, and Visual Basic .NET. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44073/an-introduction-to-objectoriented-programming-with-visual-basic-net/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/44073/an-introduction-to-objectoriented-programming-with-visual-basic-net/ Mon, 08 Jul 2002 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley SQL Server CE Database Development with the .NET Compact Framework is the only book of its kind for developers wishing to examine in detail all aspects of SQL Server CE 2.0 and the .NET Compact Framework, the most significantly updated area of Visual Studio 2003. Featuring in-depth information on SQL Server CE 2.0 and the .NET Compact Framework, this book illustrates how both Visual Basic .NET and C# can be used to build powerful database applications for the Pocket PC.
