Essential quick-reference
This book is essentially a roughly-categorized list of neat things you can do with VB.NET. Most of the tasks are ones you would think of and could figure out, but maybe have to struggle through the helpfiles and language reference in order to determine how to do it.Not so if you own this book. Simply look up a topic it covers, and not only will it present the solution in general terms in plain, easy-to-understand, concise English, but it generally provides easy-to-apply sample code. This book is an essential reference for any VB.NET programmer and I only wish that the "cookbook" format was used for other languages (Java, C++, C#, or .NET in general).

Really neat and fun book
If you have been VB Developing for a while, then you probably know know Macdonald's name by now. Well, his book is really cool and typical of Matt's work. The book is geared toward mid level developers, but I think beginning developers will save themselves a lot of 'learning curve' time by reading it, and advanced developers will certainly appreciate many of the concepts he puts forth. There are many things that in it that are every day tasks, but I totally disagree with the reviewer that said there's not much new in this book. As far as a cookbook goes, there is going to be some common stuff in it. That's what it's all about. There are many tasks that most every program entails. But Matt has some great implementations and there is a ton of stuff that I really doubt every developer already knows. I've recommended this book to two of my friends, and while they are both C# developers, they both really liked it. Go ahead and pick up a copy, you'll like it.
