The Purpose of This Book

I l @ ve RuBoard

Many fundamental programming books introduce technologies to the reader, but they seldom go beyond the surface. This leaves the reader with no real guidance as to how those technologies should be used or even when. It's not always obvious how to use technologies that are available to the developer. In fact, it's quite easy to shoot yourself in the foot by making an incorrect assumption. Sometimes documentation is a part of the problem, but a better understanding of the implications of certain programming practices is vitally important.

On the other hand, most advanced books focus too much on theory and delve little into implementation. In this book we strive for a balance between introducing important technologies and concepts and providing guidance on how the technologies should be applied in your applications.

This is not a design patterns book. This book will instead focus on how to use more advanced features of Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework to build into your applications common features that have in the past been too difficult to build in. Also, do not think that the purpose of this book is to make you an "enterprise developer." This book provides a set of fundamental skills and technologies in an accessible fashion for the average developer. Think of this book as a stepping-stone to more advanced development topics.
