[dba-VB] Does anyone have

It is indeed a mess, but in fact less so than most of the open source
things.  And the guy has credentials (listen to me 8-(, and his first book
gets a 4.5 star rating from ~50 reviewers on Amazon.com.  I desperately need
an introduction to business objects so I'll give it a try.

Hi John

I visited the site and got the same impression.

This is, sadly, the case for most open-source sites - lots of info on
marginal latest revisions and nerded comments, but only an obtuse - or
completely lacking - overview for the first-time visitor. Often not even
system/software requirements are listed. 
These people could really gain by learning some marketing: What is this,
what is the purpose, who is it aimed for, what skill is required, what
software is required, etc. It's a mess and a waste.

Richard,

Thanks for the link.  I have to say it is annoying when an author does
things in reverse order.  I go to the site.  Plastered all over is CSLA.  So
what is CSLA?  There is a link, plainly labeled "what is CSLA".  So I go to
that link.  There is an entire page starting with CSLA is a ....  At the
VERY BOTTOM is the paragraph that DEFINES the acronym CSLA.  

Sigh.

But in the end I ordered the book, as well as an older book by the same
author apparently no longer in print.  Let's hope he can help me!

;-)

Hi

For anyone looking to move in vb.net (or c#.net) I would recommend CSLA.Net
by Rocky Lhotka.
His framework is excellent.  There is too much to mention,  a steep learning
curve but worth it.
Check out http://www.lhotka.net
