Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Learning a programming language can be a daunting prospect at the best of times, especially for beginners, but it's books like this that make the process just a little bit easier.

Visual Basic in Easy Steps is as comprehensive a guide to Microsoft's versatile programming, scripting and macro language as you could wish for.

Well presented and easy-to-follow tutorials on the basics of creating forms, dialogues and simple variable handling pave the way for the more complex functions such as ActiveX and database programming.

Along the way you'll pick up essentials on the creation and use of tables, menus and toolbars along with some excellent information on using VB to allow Windows applications to interface with each other. The book is filled with box-outs containing the key points and there's even a few tasty morsels thrown in to keep the more experienced user happy.

As far as books of this type go, this has to be one of the most comprehensive with a stack of very well presented and easy-to-follow examples. Definitely a great introduction to the language and for the asking price it represents excellent value for money too. --Steve Russell

Computer Shopper, April 1999

Fully updated for version 6, Visual Basic in easy steps deals with some of the essential features of Visual Basic in a clear and concise way, avoiding the complexity usually associated with VB texts. Works particularly well alongside more technical texts that tend to jump in at an advanced level without explaining the basics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visual Basic in Easy Steps, 15 Jan 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual Basic in Easy Steps (Paperback)

I Have wanted to learn Programming all my life and I have read book after book after book and failed to understand the concepts of Computer Programming but now I do.
Visual Basic in Easy Steps is an Ideal Choice for beginners and even experts it certainly has helped me. I has all sorts of subjects like Database Programming, Microsoft Office Programming,Calculators,Email Programmes, and many more.
For those of you who have never done programming before than Visual Basic is the best place to start and this book should be your first choice.
I have found that this book has helped me trap errors make splash screens and many more useful things.

Well To the people who wrote this book I would just like to say
EXCELLENT JOB

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear, well written book, 11 Feb 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual Basic in Easy Steps (Paperback)

Finally a book that pays attention to the basics that seem to be glossed over in more advanced texts, but are actually vital for beginners. Really easy to understand and it's nice to see a beginners book that is not afraid to use code. The tips to the side of each page were a useful reference. A bargin as well!

But that day was a long time ago. Unfortunately, Visual Basic has moved on and much of the examples no longer work.
