Excellent Book for Serious Starter

Every book has his own target reader. It is impossible to have a universal 5-star book for every-level reader.I had been looking for a book which can let me learn VB seriously as the starter for a while. Further, I already bought 2 books about VB and, but felt not good. However, this book is the book I was really looking for. Here is the features I feel good.1. Very concise--The lines are the stuff I want to read and I can understand, no showing up, no joking, no academic garbage.2. Very good balance between the explaining and code demonstration. This will make reading very effecient and effective.3. With good exercise which is simple and not tricky and make you feel that you did learn something and you can do something.I must say again, this maybe the garbage book for experienced VB developer, but it is the excellent to me!!

Great!

I've never programmed before, this book has taught me everything I needed to know and have made a few rather large programs now.The examples are good (there is heaps of work to do!) and logical.The book is big! - The online stuff I haven't worried about really.. It's just tests online - I dont know if you get a certificate or something at the end, but if you did it would be cool.If you know nothing about VB6, this book is for you!
