This was the latest of several Apress technical books that l have read and mostly they have been excellent. However, this did not feel tightly edited or clear at all. In the first few chapters it was good, and I really got to grips with the basics quickly. But as it progressed it felt more and more rushed. There were several places where C # and VB both appeared on the page.

However, I did in the end learn what I wanted to, so definitely some good points.
