Hello,

Does anyone out there have the SAM's TEACH YOURSELF OBJECT ORIENTED
PROGRAMMING IN 21 DAYS book? Starting on page 16, on Listing 1.4, does it
seem odd to you? It seems to have you type what is already in the region and
it becomes redundant. Am I just misreading or is this an error?

I already saw an error in how the author wants you to make the class
extensions as .Visual Basic instead of .vb.

Thanks,
Brian

OK..they moved some of the code outside the #REGION area. Seems odd but will
move on.

Has anyone used this book? I am comfortable with the basics of VB.NET and
need good instruction on OOP. Is this a good book or is there a better one
out there?

Thanks,
Brian

This is the best OOP book I have ever read in my life, but the code snips
are all in C++, and some of their examples use multiple inheritance, which
VB.NET cannot do.  There are other similar books though, written for VB.NET,
C#, J# and Java.
