The book was a good intro into vb.net. The author highlighted the import subjects and provided sample projects to work through to demonstrate the concepts as they were discussed in each chapter. I noticed some vb.net books go into great OOP /.Net technical details while others try to get you coding. This book has a nice balance of the two. I would recommend the series to a newbie to the vb.net language or coding. I read the 2008 version and later gained access to 2010 which appears to cover the same topics verbatim. I can not speak to the updates provided in the 2015 version.
