I wish every "programmer" would read this book

Buy Both it is worth it!!!
Both the VB.NET and C# & ASP.NET Refractoring books are great. Each has it´s own
unique sections, while at the same time they cover the same refractorings, smells, and Object-Oriented
Design Principles in detail.

Professional
Refactoring in Visual Basic
"In this book, the author will address refactoring topics from the envisioning of their benefits to the current ways of putting refactoring into practice. Danijel Arsenovski has been involved in refactoring techniques, both in the .NET and Java platforms, since their earliest versions. He has delivered speeches at several conferences, given talks, and held workshops on this subject, and driven successful refactoring projects in the banking industry.
As one of the leaders in development tools, Microsoft has been committed to delivering
best-of-breed
resources to the people who deal daily with coding activities and software projects as a whole. Through
its undisputably winning Visual Studio IDE, Microsoft makes refactoring an out-of-box facility just a
right-click away from your code. In these pages, Danijel will show you how refactoring may be practiced
in Visual Basic as easily as you do copy-paste or any other editing activities!
I dare tell you, dear reader, that you have one of the most proven and fundamental guides on these
techniques. Enjoy reading this book!"

"Arsenovski has done a great job with this book. It is clearly written, easy to follow and very practical. A great one to keep on the shelf and reference as needed. The free tools that he covers in the book are a bonus! They really help to get you applying what you've learned quickly.
I highly recommend this book for any .NET developer, not just those who use Visual
Basic.!"
