This book is written for programmers who have experience with previous versions of Visual Basic. Its primary goal is to teach these programmers about the OOP concepts and syntax what will be new to them when moving to Visual Basic .NET. The move to VB.NET has been slower than was expected, and perhaps the biggest reason for this has been the need for existing VB programmers to learn OOP concepts and syntax. This is the book that experienced VB programmers have been looking for. Not only will it teach them traditional OOP theory from a VB point of view, but it will also show them how to use modern OOP concepts and syntax in order to develop applications faster. Ted Pattison has shown, with the huge success of his previous book, Programming Distributed Applications with COM and Visual Basic, Microsoft Press, that there is not only a large audience for this information, but that he is the most trusted source for this information.
