Framework Black Book by David
Vitter
Free Sdk + Notepad.Exe + Vbc.Exe + This Book = Great Things
The Visual Studio .NET Black Book covers the .NET architecture, libraries,
and services, and how to use them from the programming languages
supported by VS.NET. This unique book explores the .NET architecture in
a non-language specific way. It covers the new Web and database access
technologies in WebForms, WinForms, ADO.NET, and ASP.NET. It also
includes an emphasis on XML, including the SOAP protocol, as it will be
used extensively for passing data around components within distributed
applications.
Personal Review: Visual Studio .NET: The .NET Framework
Black Book by David Vitter
The comments about the VB.net bias and the fairly sparse IDE examples
are correct (though you do get a modest share of C#, and a smidgen of
managed C++). Fortunately, I approached this book as a newcomer to

Windows programming who's just bought VB.Net Standard, installed the
dotNet SDK, and wants to know what can be done with it. As such, this is
a great resource. And as a proponent of actually knowing how to code as
opposed to knowing how to use a GUI, the "notepad development"
tendency was right up my alley. ... I found this book for a steep discount,
but after reading it I would have paid full price--bearing in mind my
situation/desires.
