Format:Paperback
The book is a pretty thorough introduction to Visual Basic, especially for somebody studying Computing at College/University, but the "Cyber Classroom" is absolutely dire -- basically, it's just an electronic version of the book that's incredibly tedious to use. An HTML version would have been better.

Format:Paperback
I wanted a book on Visual Basic that came with a CD that would allow me to fully compile and create simple executables. After carefully reading the packaging, I was delighted to see that the CD that comes with the book would provide me with just that. IT DOESN'T. The book itself is complicated, cluttered and confusing. It describes code for fully executable programs but provides a CD with limited functionality. For example, "Now compile and run your program", yeah with what?

Great book, great teachers, but cdrom unnecessary
21 April 1999
Format:Paperback
This is an absolutely great book on Visual Basic 6. It covers the subject well and it has lots of useful code examples and exercises and stuff to help you learn. The problem I have with this package that includes the cdrom Multimedia Cyber Classroom is that it is nothing more than reading the book on screen. I find it punishing to sit in front of a computer screen to read for long periods and would much rather just read the book lying around on the couch or something. The presentation of the multimedia CD is great and it's a powerful presentation that lets you walk through the code examples on screen and even download them to disk. However, you can download the code from their website or even better, type it in yourself (I prefer this because it gets you in the habit of doing things because of the repetition) and run in with the book in front of you. Save some money and just buy the book alone and don't be so lazy...

Very good tutorial
16 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Too many books on vb concetrate too much on the interface, rather than on decent code. There is no use in fancy, flashy gui's with poor code behind it. The first half of the book gives you the foundation you need to write good vb code. There are also challenging excercises, too many books stay with "easy" excercises and thereby give the illusion that you master the material, this book keeps you modest.The second part of the book covers subjects to more advanced topics of vb, but not in depth. A negative point is the terrible color used in the book.

Good VB Introduction
20 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
Pretty good introduction to VB, but programming experience is recommended before attempting VB. Like others have said, the CD is unnecessary and basically is the same as the examples and text in the book. The only nice thing about the CD is you can run the example programs from the book, but it's not that big of a deal. Sometimes there is too much detail, and at other times there is too little, warranting the 4 star rating. Deitel hasn't failed me yet with programming scripture.
