Develop a solid understanding of how to do full- fledged object oriented programming (OOP) in 21 lessons, so you are ready to use the full power of Visual Basic.NET.

This book is focused on "getting the concepts" as well as teaching how to apply OOP concepts in the new version of Visual Basic. The reader is not expected to have any mastery of a given OOP language. In fact, the stress of having to learn the syntax of an OOP language, without first having a strong conceptual foundation about the OOP paradigm, often prevents the programmer from doing effective Object Oriented Programming at the language level. However, a beginner¿s knowledge of the Visual Basic language is a definite plus.
