I have bought books on c++ programming, assembler, and advanced physics. None have been so hard to understand as this one. Why is that?
Format:Hardcover
If you already have some programming knowledge in VB and is thinking of taking it further, this book will help.
The course layout is good. The exercises are interesting enough.
But there are errors in the printed codes. You'll need to verify them with the codes that come with the CD.
You will also need to place a strong cup of black coffee next to your PC, roll-up your sleeves and try out all the exercises.
Make sure you concentrate until your brain throbs. :>)
Then you will find this book comprehensive and rewarding. As I did...
Format:Hardcover
I learned how to use Visual Basic from reading this book. The structure of the book and interactive quizzes provided a way for me to digest the intricacies of the Visual Basic IDE and the syntax of the language.
Even though the book was very useful to me, I give it a marginal score because of the errors in the examples. As an experienced programmer, the errors helped me to learn the syntax (or at least, the consistently missing INDEX syntax) and Visual Basic's DEBUGGING capabilities. However, since this "Find the Error" approach was not a conscious tactic on the part of the editors, I could easily have chosen frustration over learning.

A very good VB Book
This book is one of the most thorough VB books on Visual Basic 6 of the few I have purchased. I really liked the coverage on the intranet/internet programming.
