Format:Paperback
This book has been the course material for a diploma I am doing, and as a programmer by trade i've seen many technical books. This is not a book to be used as a reference, but rather an excellent way to learn solid fundamentals of the programming language. It kept me interested from start to finish, firstly by not being intimidating before you have a grounding, and secondly by providing the most amount of hands on work in a text book I have seen. Expect to have written many programs by the end of it, ranging from single form programs to nifty desktop applications with database access. This is not a book for 'enterprise' developers, so don't expect to see any COM or ActiveX, but do expect to finish the book feeling satisifed that you know how to put together a complete desktop application from start to finish.

Good for classroom , not for independant study
7 May 2000
Format:Paperback
I really dont want to step on any toes here, but I must give my honest opinion. Having taken a college course in VB6 and using this book I can understand why the college chose this book, it is perfect for the classroom environment: which entails hands being raised due to unclear material. I complenented this reading with another VB6 book so I could understand the points better. I suggest this for any VB6 beginner. My suggestion to the authors is this: Please, whenever you are showing an example of the concept just made, don't just use a snippet of code that will not run on its own, but go right into a very small program to explain the code. That way we (beginners) can actually see and understand what was taught. I must not blame the writers too much, my instructor should never have been teaching the subject in the first place. Maybe it would have been different with someone who was current with and enthused about teaching VB6. For those of you who want to learn on your own, and you CAN do it because that's practically how i'm learning, buy Peter Wrights book on Beginning VB6. For those students who are using this book, if you finish the class while finishing all the required projects, you should be fine.

Difficult to follow and confusing
10 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
I have been using this book for a college level vb course. Although it offers some good information, the examples were few and far between, difficult to follow, and we ran across numerous errors in the text and in some of the exercises/examples. I would recommend using the Step-By-Step books -- they seem to be more logical and comprehensive.

Confusing with Many Mistakes
15 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
I recently used this book for a class and we found that the book was not clearly written. Examples tended to be quite different from the end of chapter exercises. I found that you constantly needed to turn to outside resources or use trial and error to achieve your goal. The book also does not use the most efficient methods of doing the programs. Disappointed that errors were not corrected before publication.
