The Deitel book was very good as well, yes.

What I liked about Kevin's book was that it provided a good bridge from VFP to topics like abstract classes and interfaces (something Les eschewed in his book). Kevin's book was "dry", but packed with good examples. I had to really get my hands dirty with .NET for months before Kevin's book made sense, but found it to be invaluable for years afterwards.
