5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, easy to follow, well written., 7 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Schneider's book has the following qualities:

1. It is clear in layout and language, which is important for beginners.

2. Plenty of examples and exercises to assist the learner.

3. Very good on programming techniques in general.

It is a very good introduction. If you want to learn VB and are a novice to programming then this is the Bible.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't really work for me..., 28 April 2002
By Kevin Snowdon "kev_of_southwick" (Sunderland, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
...so why didn't I mark it more severely? Read on... I've been an IT professional for twenty-three years and counting. As a current user of MS Office, Oracle, and UNIX, and a former user of COBOL, I reckon I need only add Visual Basic to my skills-set to make my career reasonably 'future-proof'. With that in mind, and encouraged by the Amazon reviews, I bought this book but, sad to say, I've been disappointed with it. My idea of a good 'teach yourself' guide is one that works its way methodically and progressively through its subject matter, there being specific points at which each new concept is clearly introduced, followed by a 'work-through' example or two; the guide can subsequently be used as a reference work by the (increasingly) experienced. A lot of hard work has obviously gone into this book, which cannot be faulted for its methodical and progressive approach (it starts out with Windows - and even some generalised IT - fundamentals), but things rapidly come unstuck on the clarity front, with each fresh topic, and its all-important work-through example(s), increasingly buried under an avalanche of exercises to do and problems to solve. This strategy would almost certainly work very well in a classroom full of newcomers to IT, period (to be fair, the book was probably intended for precisely that environment, and this was the sole reason why I awarded it three stars instead of only two), but it was most definitely NOT what I was expecting. At a pinch, the book CAN be made to work as an IT pro's introduction to VB, provided you miss out whole chunks of it (i.e. those containing the tedious and annoying problems and exercises) but, by their tendency to obscure the truly relevant topics, those self-same sections preclude the book's subsequent use by ANYONE as a reference source. For me, it doesn't really work... but then, maybe I should have paid less attention to the reviews and more to the synopsis, from which I quote, "Designed for students with no prior computer programming knowledge... exercises and programming projects gives students significant hands-on experience"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Good , Excellent, 30 Oct 2000
By A Customer
I got this book sometime ago because I'd used the vb5 book and this was very brilliant with object oriented programming. All my friends who borrowed this book went and got a copy for themselves.
