Vb.Net Language

The VB.NET Language Pocket Reference offers the convenience of a quick reference in a small and convenient format. Since VB.NET programmers are working with a very different framework and language from Visual Basic 6, they'll welcome a reference book they can easily use and take anywhere. With concise detail and no fluff, this guide presents syntax and brief descriptions of each Visual Basic .NET language element. Your customers will be amazed how much information can fit in such a small, inexpensive package.

Ron Petrusha is an editor for O'Reilly and is the author/coauthor of many books, including VBScript in a Nutshell. Ron has a background in quantitative labor history, specializing in Russian labor history, and holds degrees from the University of Michigan and Columbia University. He began working with computers in the mid 1970s, programming in SPSS (a programmable statistical package) and FORTRAN on the IBM 370 family. Since then, he has been a computer book buyer, an editor of a number of books on Windows and Unix, and a consultant on projects written in dBASE, Clipper, and Visual Basic.

Paul Lomax, author of O'Reilly's VB & VBA in a Nutshell and a coauthor of VBScript in a Nutshell, is an experienced VB programmer with a passion for sharing his knowledge--and his collection of programming tips and techniques gathered from real-world experience.
