Evangelos Petroutsos is an engineer with a M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He started his career at the California Institute of Technology as a computer specialist (back then, there were very few titles for computer professionals) and has worked for many companies since. He’s also written titles for publishers like SYBEX, Wiley and McGraw-Hill. These titles include Mastering Visual Basic 6 and Mastering Visual Basic .NET, the .NET Power Tools and more.

During the last several years he has worked with the Google Maps API in several projects. His current project is a large GIS system based on Google Maps and MapInfo and much of the experience acquired in this field is included in his last book, “Google Maps: Tools for Maximizing the API.”

As an additional aid to the readers of his book, and developers interested in making the most of the Google Maps API at large, Evangelos has created a few tutorials, which you can find at www.pevangelos.com/GoogleMaps. The list of tutorials will grow, provided he has interesting ideas to share.

I am really pleased and feel thankful to have the great opportunity to learn VB.net with this book. I'd read this book page by page very thoroughly years ago and am using this book still with the other VB.net books from Evangelos Petroutsos during developing the VB.Net code under .NET Frame. Recently I purchased it again since my old one was too worn out, but I'm still so happy to buy it again with low price also. If you want to have a clear/robust knowledge to start VB.Net program, I would like to recommend you this book very strongly with the other ones such as 'VS2010/2012" written by him also. Just only I hope him to consider Interface and Delegate sections more in details since they are being used many times in a professional world and in a real program world, but those two concepts are weak in this book unfortunately.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - Poor Coding Style
Reviewed in the United States on 3 September 2005
Verified Purchase
The book is great once you know your way around. However, the coding style is very poor. It looks more like code for VB6ers who are too dumb or too lazy to switch to .NET but want to use it anyway to get rid of the "Wanna-be coder" attribute. VB has grown, but unfortunately, some authors haven't. I prefer books from authors who can pick up changes quicker than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive for Desktop Programming
Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2002
Verified Purchase
This is a great text for learning VB.NET on the desktop. I really liked his book on VB6 and his VB.NET is even better. He presents all major and new object-oriented code examples to help convert my old VB6 code to NET specs. The only MINOR weakness is the limited coverage on Web-based programming (this should be another book anyway). For new people getting started with VB.NET you are going to love this book.
