Good for self-taught programmers

This book is turning out to be a big help to me as I go about customizing Microsoft applications and cleaning up macros. I am a self-taught programmer and was too lazy to write clean, annotated code and want to clean up my act. Especially since I was approached by a global financial services company to clean up and document their code (not just VB either), I realized this is a bigger problem than anyone realizes. Other programming books mention good practices and stuff but this book lays it out in detail. He explains things so clearly and thoroughly that I feel like he's sitting down with me, talking it through slowly. I feel much more confident about the work I put out, and that I can leave at any time without worry about my reputation.

Great Supplemental Book to Software Design Education

This book is a great complement to any beginning Visual Basic software developer's education in software design. The concepts in this book help organize the approach one should take in creating Visual Basic applications that will be more adaptable, extensible, and maintainable. I am already putting these concepts to practice and seeing positive results.

A Great Resource For any Visual Basic Programmer

This book contains essential information for Visual Basic Programmers. I am very impressed with the authors use of words, and the clearity of each illustraion he communicates. I recommend this book to all Visual Basic Programmers, since none should leave home with out it. 2 Thumbs UP !
