After this book, you'll need Visual Basic for Experts!

What a great book on programmig language. All the easy steps to make your own program! From Message Boxes to Variants. From Input Boxes to Popupmenus. This book is very well put together. You'll no longer be a dummy when you finish this book! I have VB3 for a year and went to 4. Took me a week with this book to MASTER it! Try it out!

This is the book for beginners !!!

Outstanding ! If you're new to VB, this book is a must. The author uses some hilarious examples, and practical code to teach you how to work your way through VB. One caveat, this deals mostly with interface development in VB, if you want to learn about the heavy stuff (creating .bas files, compiling .dll files, etc) you'll have to look elsewhere. Other than that, this book is a great way to start working with VB

Excellent Down and Dirty Guide

The author makes no claims to being a teacher of theory (in this book), and doesn't do so. If you don't care about the "why" of what you are doing, and just want to get your program coded and running, this is the book for you. It's an excellent adjunct to deeper resources on Visual Basic programming, and needs to be in reach while you are hammering out your code

Very Good Beginners Book

I liked this book very much. It had a lot of helpful hints that could easily confuse a novice user if they were not explained. It was not a complete discussion of the features of Visual Basic, but it contained a lot of very good information for the beginning user. I would recommend this book to a beginning Visual Basic programmer

Great beginning point for absolute VB beginners!

Want to begin programming Visual Basic 4? Looked at the Programers Guide and still don't have a clue? Then this book is for you! If you have never played around with Visual Basic before, this book provides a good intro into setting up forms, assigning properties to objects on your form, and throws in some Code work too! So avoid all the confusion and frustration and start here. (The Code will soon follow...
