 Too Many Great New Features April 14, 2002
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I like all the new language improvements from variable initialization to ergonomic keywords for object oriented programming (OOP). Great job! Just one problem, together these new features produce TOO much complexity! Visual Basic.Net has become an ergonomic JAVA. The language now gets in the way of creative RAD programming. Microsoft should have simplified OOP in the way Python did objects.
 A worthwhile purchase for those on a budget April 10, 2002
VB.NEt standard IS fairly crippled, however theres more than enough functionality in there to keep you occupied through the rather large learning curve. Winforms and WebForms(asp .net) are both possibly using this edition, which really does allow for a large scope of applications. You'll be limited to Access DB's using the wizards, but you can still code everything for SQl Server by hand if you get that good.So, if you want to get stuck into VB.NET and cant quite afford the full version of dev studio, I would thoroughly recommend this version...you have more than enough functionality to keep you going for a few months...unless your app just HAS to have web services or the like then you are probably ok. just bare in mind, you probably will want to buy the full version at some stage, when you wallet allows it.
 At last ... VB with OOP that aproaches the power of VC++ February 28, 2002

Visual Basic has been around for more than a decade and has been used by millions (well 3 million) people to do things ranging from making Excel more friendly to large, standalone software packages.
However, until now Visual Basic has been easier to use than C++ but at the expense of power and object orientation. This has changed with Visual Basic.NET. Basic is now more powerful and more solidly one of the main planks of Microsoft's strategy.
At about US$100, the package is great value for money. However, if you have not touched a programming language for a whicle, you will need a good introduction (such as Wrox Press, Beginning Visual Basic.Net).
I found the transition from VBA to VB.NET to be interesting and challenging and I look forward (as a hobbyist, rather than a professional programmer) to getting even more out of the product.
