Book Description

23 April 1999 0672315335 978-0672315336 1
The niche of this book is that it not only focuses on the topic at hand but it also provides a battery of tools/skills that will take the user at a higher level and help him/her realize the skills "without waiting to read another book" on some other topic they need to know if they wanted to implement it in real life. It is a self contained, stand alone book.

Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 24 Hours follows the step-by-step approach of the Teach Yourself series and gives the reader a quick, concise introduction to this programming language. It will explain the basics of Visual Basic through task-oriented examples and a hands on approach.

2.0 out of 5 stars too simple by far 16 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
For anybody who intends to program anything involving more than one form (of the 'how many mpg did my car do?' variety) this book is too simple by far. Microsoft's own books on VB are far better for the beginner - the index of this book is woefully inadequate, and the content isn't much better... want to print a line in a graphics (picture) box and then print 'this is a line' over it? best look elsewhere then, you won't manage that here...
A typical 'newbies are all suckers' book, you're better off learning to love the MSDN library!

Format:Paperback
As an experienced programmer (not VB) I was wanting a book that would give me a good intro to VB 6. This book was the Starter Kit version which came with VB 6 Working Model Edition. There are several problems: 1) the book was written befor VB 6 became available. As a result 2) the book does not match the software supplied. 3) There is no language reference. 4) There is no info on creating MDI applications 5) There is no information on creating Help Files. 6) The section on objects is an overview of objects (very brief) and does not tell you how to create your own - setting properties and methods etc. 7) The chapter on databases tells you a bit about how to connect to a database and read its records and vaguely tells you how to update it. 8) I actually had to refer to a VB 4 book to get some basic info (Visual Basic: A Complete Course). 9) Towards the end it refers to the reader as now being a skilled programmer but in reality you are at the level of just about knowing the alphabet but not knowing how to create and write words.
Altogether I found that this book is BAD and would not recommend it - even to beginners.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good starter but............ 2 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
Well this book certainly got me started in Visual Basic 6 but left me high and dry when I wanted to interigate an SQL server. If this is the type of thing you might want to do then you'd be as well to look for suplementary reading.
