Product Description
Product Description
Intro Programming course is estimated currently at 150-200,000 and growing. Visual Basic is taking over where BASIC, Qbasic, and QuickBasic once dominated, in the Introductory Business Programming course. That trend will continue as VB continues to encroach on other less progressive languages such as COBOL and the Basic variations listed above within CIS and Business departments. The courses that can be supported by this text are not specific to any one type of institution, since VB in a Business course is largely a functional topic needed by all types of students from 2-4 year, to Vo-Tech, to extended, to even adult education.

This book is for people who want to learn visual basic at any stage - beginners, intermediate to advance. This book is written by students who learnt VB and its made for students or anyone in the industry who is or just started programming in VB.
It teaches you from the beginning, and assumes that you have no knowledge of the programming - also good for someone who wants to know what programming is. It is also for laymen who want to set-up household or any kind of budgets, also useful for someone who knows about Excel and wants to go a bit further.

It is very well written and understandable. It is paperback so you can carry it around and easy to put in your briefcase or handbag.
If you have been looking for a book that makes sense or looking for a good book then this one is it. Hope you enjoy this book like you I have looked at other books too. I would recommend this book because it is easy to read and understand.

Great book, quickly progresses from beginning concepts
4 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
The authors start with very basic elements in the first 3 chapters: the IDE, form design, controls, properties, methods, datatypes, and variable scope, etc. But the book moves right along, by chapter 11, you're learning to access database files. The authors present the material with a very logical progression, I didn't find myself skipping around, which I had done with other books on the subject. The explanantions are concise, no boring filler here, but there are many examples of syntax and code. At the end of each chapter, a complete program is presented to bring everything together. I've attempted to learn Visual Basic with other books, but I wish I would have found this one first. It is written in a manner that anyone could understand, gives good code examples and the projects are enjoyable. I've recently started the Advanced version of this book and hope to move to the next level. I would definately recommend this book for any beginner in Visual Basic 6.

I finally found it!! I had checked this book out from a library and it was the exact kind of book I needed. If I remember right the ladies that wrote this book had written it for a Visual BASIC college class that they taught. It's mostly revolved around the necessities and doesn't stray away to off the wall graphics programs or anything dramatic, but maintains a clear learner's course of Visual BASIC. Plus, it doesn't try to teach you VB in one day, wich seems to be the trend of many popular books.
If you're tired of all those "Learn VB in X Hours" books then I'd recommend giving this a try. Heck, there's even a book out now called "Learn Visual Basic in Ten Minutes". lol

Great book for beginners.

When i purchased this book it was because i had to for a college course but i was already an intermediate programmer. Although i already knew most of the contents of the book, i couldnt help but notice if i had bought this book when i was first starting out i would have saved so much time and money. When i started i purchased 2 books one of them being from the **** for dummies collection which i would highly vote against doing and the other was too technical without enough explanation. This one is highly detailed and step by step, after each chapter it gives you a full rundown of the code with detailed notes. If your serious about learning VB6 i dont know of any other book out thatll get you programming well in such a short time.
