1.0 out of 5 stars Most books reuse the codes., 2 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Most books do reuse the source code and usually isnt that good on source code. source codes is best way to learn programming. you want better source codes? search the www site there is LOTS of good codes out there! please check out for source code of what you want before you buy a ocx because some greedy programmers often take a sample codes and make a ocx out of them. good example is taskicon ocx there is lots of example in source code and there is some ocxs that do same for 40 bucks. which you prefer? free or 40 bucks?

2.0 out of 5 stars It wasn't that good....., 5 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I got this book at a store, and although it had some pretty neat looking things in it, it didn't turn out to be all that good. First off, they didn't even teach you code, they just tell you to add some ocx to your program. Secondly, the ocx was messed up!! Also, when they got to the 3D programming part, you had to include into your program something that was written in C++. I was really hoping to learn something from this book, but unfortunately I didn't.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very misleading!, 7 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I was really excited when I bought this book,thinking I wasactually going to learn some cool stuff. As it turned out most examples didn't work and you had to run your computer in 256 colors. I contacted the author for a refund but he never responded - I would have returned it to the book store, but I opened that useless CD. Don't waste your money!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst ever book

2.0 out of 5 stars It will give you some interesting ideas, but nothing more.
This book tries to be everything to everybody and ends up being nothing to anybody. Despite its claim, you can not learn to program from this book. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected
This book isn't what I expected! Not at all! The cover looks nice, but unless you are more in the advanced stage of VB programming, you won't get this. Read more

First of all, this is a great book. It has many interesting examples that you can base on. Anyway, if you don't like the sprite control, you can get the newest one on the... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars poorly written...
not exactly a step by step type manual...many of the screen shots appear to be from older versions of vb and this is supposed to be a ver 5 book... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Ditto's to previous reviews
This is a VERY ATTRACTIVE book - only on the front & rear covers. That is it's only redeeming value. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money
I bought this book to learn how to write animation in VB5. A reasonable assumption from the title. The book not only does not do it, but it doesn't even attempt to do it. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not Buy
This book seemed a little intimidating for me. I am just a beggining programmer with little experience in advanced animation. Read more
