Excellent Book

Dan's book is definitely an authoritative work on the subject of COM/ActiveX development using Visual Basic. Even though the book is geared toward professional VB programmers, the material presented provides a well-rounded view of COM/ActiveX for most developers, providing them with the knowledge required to build professional, quality components. While this book could be read by VB programmers at any level, the book...

A work of teaching art

Actually, I have been converted to respecting VB now that I understand how OBject Oriented it truly can be. He has very few personal judgements and if he does, he...

A Visual Basic standard

The style makes the book easy to read and the content and examples are first class. I cannot recommend too highly this excellent book
