Documents in paperback
This is a good book if you don't feeling like opening the .NET documentation on your computer. It's got lots of tables and two full appendices copied from the docs in here. Good if reading the monitor hurts your eyes. The first couple chapters have a few tips on architecture that might be useful if you're a beginner to programming. The rest of the book's chapters give intros to the basic project templates like creating a Windows Services, running the debugger, etc. Also covers security issue areas like the most efficient way to concantenate strings.
In conclusion, a good intro book if you're brand spanking new to .NET.

More codes sample preferred
This is quite a good introduction to new enterprise capabilities of the Visual Basic.NET. However I would say this book is more of a white paper on enterprise application design with VB.NET than a tutorial on how to get things done with codes work thru.
If you are looking for codes, this isn't the book for you. It is more suitable for system analyst and architect on evaluating the .NET platform as their enterprise application platform.
If you had read thru the whole .NET documentation on coding conventions, architecture and best practices, don't buy this book. A lot of materials are taken from the MSDN documentation and wrap it in a more understandable format.
