In this extended commentary and analysis, author Dan Appleman, founder of the web site www.ThinkingAboutMoney.com, takes aim at the first three books in the series: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", ...

The Real System.Diagnostics Documentation
My boss wanted me to write a trace listener that would post spy messages to MSMQ. Well after days of online research and banging my head against the desk I stumbled apon this gem. It pointed out the errors in the MSDN documentation as well as gave me a more elegant design idea for our trace model.

Regular Expressions with .NET

Daniel Appleman, 2002

Best $15 I ever spent
I've read through it once, and I'll definitely have to read through it again. And probably at least once more after that. It's the perfect size for a download - small enough that I could handle printing it out, and I still have the .pdf file for when I need to search it. It's pretty dense, and there's a lot of "You need to understand 3 things about xxWhatever, and I'll explain the 3rd thing ...

Visual Basic .NET or C#, Which to Choose? (VS2005 edition)

8 reviews
Dan Appleman, Daniel Appleman, 2004

Much better than I expected...
I got my money's worth. He really packs a lot of information into 45+ pages. He pretty much goes blow-by-blow each feature and then gives his impression as to who the winner is. At the end, he addresses his recommendations for Java, C++, and Visual Basic programmers. Although programmers familiar with other languages aren't specifically addressed, this is still a good read and you'll know ...

My Choice for a First VB.NET Book
There are a lot of books out there for transitioning to VB.NET from VB6.

Geeks get it, newbies don't. Get over it.
This guy REALLY wants reader to understand EVERYTHING about object orientated language and how to implement it in VB. I bought this book for [money] at a garage sale (well, lots of geeks in my region), and it turned out to be the best VB book ever. Being a C++/VB programmer, I am amazed by what I can do with VB. If you have knowledge of Object Orientated Language, and have 2+ years of ...

Ziff Davis Pr, 1993

This is the best book I have seen for Visual Basic.
I have been programing with Basic since 1975 and I have read and studdied many books on the subject. I work almost strictly in graphics and without this book you can do very little graphics using the standard Visual Basic commands. This book covers every aspect of the API's and has left out very few. The ones that were left out you would probubly never need anyway. I now have Widows 95 ...

Great reference book for Visual Basic programmers

Obfuscating .NET: Protecting Your Code from Prying Eyes
Dan Appleman, Daniel Appleman

Daniel Appleman, 2002

Updated for Visual Studio 2005 Did you know you actually ship your source code every time you distribute a .NET assembly? One of the consequences of the architecture of .NET is that a great deal of information about an assembly is kept with the assembly in a part of the file called the Manifest. This information makes it remarkably easy to not just reverse engineer the assembly, but to decompile it, make modifications, then recompile ...

Useful Compilation
"How Computer Programming Works" offers a useful compilation of major Computer Science topics. The artwork, spread liberally though this book, is generally quite useful and offers some unique insights into certain topics, but is at times overdone. Daniel Appleman has done a good job of condensing many of the major topical areas and themes in the field of Computer Science in fewer than 250 ...

Dan Appleman treads where others only glance
"This eBook is a collection of 7 original columns written by best-selling author Dan Appleman for Pinnacle's Hardcore Visual Basic.NET newsletter." With those opening words in the eBook, you'd get the impression that the subject matter coverage would be light and/or shallow, like articles usually are... but Dan has really done a great job of delving into the depths of Cryptography, .NET String ...
