This book is for programmers with some basic experience of Visual Basic .NET, who want to begin programming database applications. It might be useful if you have some limited experience of Access, although this is not strictly necessary. Note that this book is not an introduction to Visual Basic .NET. If you are completely new to Visual Basic .NET, you will probably find Beginning Visual Basic .NET a better choice to get you off the ground. Likewise, this book is not aimed at getting experienced VB6 developers up to speed with the changes between VB6 and Visual Basic .NET. If you fall into this category, try Professional VB.NET. download
