The book you have in your hands is far better than the book I wrote, and for this I must thank an extraordinary pair of editors, Ralph Davis and John Osborn. If this book feels comfortable to VB6 programmers, as I sincerely hope it will, it is due in large measure to the work of Ron Petrusha and Robert Green. In addition, the folks behind the scenes at O'Reilly Media can never be thanked sufficiently: Caitrin McCullough, Linley Dolby, Matt Hutchinson, and Rob Romano.
This book is a departure from previous programming books; it is targeted at making you instantly productive, teaching the language and the concepts as we go. Approving such a book required a great leap of faith and courage, and I'm deeply grateful to John Osborn and Tim O'Reilly.
