'' ''Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 ''is one of the few books that I'' ve seen that lays the proper object-oriented foundation to make new Visual Basic.NET developers as well as VB6 veterans successful in moving to the .NET Framework.'' -Paul Ballard ''President Rochester Consulting Partnership Inc.'''' '' '' Deborah Kurata'' s ''Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 ''is salvation for every programmer beached on the forbidding isle of .NET object-oriented programming. '' Right this way '' she says leading you confidently into that vaguely menacing interior. Step follows step. Suddenly the daunting and unfamiliar become doable and commonplace. You'' re productive again. My goodness you'' re actually enjoying yourself!'' -Ward Bell ''V.P. Product Management IdeaBlade Inc.'' '' When is comes to advice on programming objects in Visual Basic nobody could be better qualified than Deborah Kurata. She'' s been doing ''Doing Objects ''since VB4 and she doesn'' t let us down as we move our classic VB code to the Microsoft.NET platform. From initial analysis and design through to the final implementation you'' ll find everything you need here to take on the Visual Basic 2005 development environment. This book is a must have for every VB.NET developer!'' -Kel Good ''MCT MCITP MCPD Custom Software Development Inc. (www.customsoftware.ca)'' '' I'' ve long been frustrated that I couldn'' t recommend a book on object-oriented fundamentals in .NET. Sure there were plenty of books on OO syntax. But what good is explanation of syntax if you don'' t already understand the concepts?At last we have the successor to the ''Doing Objects ''series for classic VB from which so many of us learned how to think about objects and object design completely rewritten for .NET. If you'' re a VB 2005 developer who needs to add object orientation to your skill set this is the book you need.'' -Billy Hollis ''author/consultant Next Version Systems'' '' Deborah Kurata does her ''Doing Objects ''thing again!
