From the reviews:
"As the title implies, the material is presented as a series of eight tutorials. … There are plenty of illustrative screen shots, suitably scaled and never far from the text that refers to them. … A large volume of source code for examples in the book is available from the publisher’s website … freely available. … It is an excellent book whether for a beginner starting on the latest version of Visual Basic, or someone who wants to update to the .NET version." (Philip Ballinger, Computer Bulletin – online, March, 2003)
