101 Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Applications

Sean Campbell, Scott Swigart, Bob Carver, Patrick Barnes, Jim Pragit, Oz Rugless, Kris Horrocks is a team of authors from 3 Leaf Solutions, which is a company that provides training, consulting and other services to early adopters of Microsoft technology. 3 Leaf Solutions does a significant number of external and internal projects directly for Microsoft. These projects allow 3 Leaf Solutions to gain a deep understanding of new Microsoft products and technologies before they appear publicly. Once products are released publicly 3 Leaf Solutions then takes the knowledge they have gained and enables early adopters to build solutions that build upon newly released products via consulting, mentoring, training or other services. These experiences with Microsoft and early adopters have led 3 Leaf Solutions to a deep understanding of the core questions and concerns of VB.NET developers. The 100 sample applications detailed in this book are derived from the experiences of 3 Leaf consultants and their exposure to real world adopters of VB.NET. These applications leverage the years of experience 3 Leaf already has in designing VB.NET applications to show developers “in code” how to develop VB.NET Windows Forms and Web Form applications.
