Format:Paperback
I would expect more from Peter Norton than this book deminstrates. You make about 6 mini applications through the first 4 chapters, but guess what?... You have no idea what you did. Mr. Peter Norton just tells you what code to write, where to write it, and "That's all there is to it!" No, sorry Peter, that's not all there is to it... How bout a little explination of what you are telling us to do? There are no explanations of the code you are instucted to write.(By the way, I am sick of seeing this guys face on everything)
Format:Paperback
I would recommend this book for studying with instructor, not by yourself. It introduces some of the concepts in a rather quick manner without giving you the in-depth introduction to the topic. I taught couple of people VB and I find that Norton's is very helpful for the students, but as I have mentioned, you need instructor's guidance with it.
Format:Paperback
Unless you need work on your typing skills, find another book. The explanations of the code are inadequate to describe the underlying concepts. At many points in the book, a programming technique is introduced via the code examples with no explanation whatsoever. The chapter on linking to 'C' is so poorly written one wonders why they bothered. There are a few nuggets inside of the book, but you'll have to dig and you will need a moderate amount of experience in another language to comprehend the coding examples. Better books are available, such as the "Using Visual Basic" series. Serious VB developers should check out Deborah Kurata's "Doing Objects in Visual Basic 5.0" or anything by Dan Appleman.
