Format:Paperback
Although I have some experience in the computer field (I am an IS student), this was the very first book I've ever studied Visual Basic from. I must say that it explains a broad variety of topics in a very easy-to-comprehend fashion. I was only somewhat disappointed that OLE and ActiveX were barely covered.
Format:Paperback
As a beginner to Visual Basic, I thought that the book was pretty good. I think it covers most of the basics and does a fairly decent job of laying out the information needed to move on to more advanced features. If you are a quick learner, this book will go fast, and you will soon need more advanced materials. Having said that, I think the book is a bit pricey for the user who has some sort of an idea concerning programing, otherwise, it is worth the money.
Format:Paperback
This book is good for those who just want an introduction to VB but it doesn't cover most of the very important topics such active X componenets and doesn't go deep into database programming.

Pretty good for beginners
There are lots of books out there that are just written like references or Help books. That's not the way to learn programming. Read more

If you want a beginner's guide to VB, keep looking.
I concur that this is the best book presently available on programming VB. Sadly, it's inadequate. While the authors obviously know what they're talking about, the editor clearly... Read more

Very good book for beginners
One of the best books for anyone who wants to learn Visual Basic 5. The Practise tests are not only useful but increase the confidence level of any programmer at beginner's level.
