Excellent Resource for Self-Starters

Unfortunately, I'd already spent close to $200 on other books before I came across this one. I needed a step-by-step, well-written, easy to follow workbook type of text which would approximate a training course, and this book is it! All other books I tried were too dry and technical, boring me to death while simultaneously confusing me. Only wish I could find more titles in this series. Warning - "homework" assignments assume you have VB installed. If you've got VB and a little programming knowledge, BUY THIS BOOK AND GET BUSY WITH VB 5! =D

Great VB Reference!

I am fairly new to Visual Basic Programming, and was looking for a good introductory book. I found it! This book covers just about everything you'd want to know about the foundations of VB5, every event & object. GREAT BOOK! This book is not really a tutorial. I thought it was meant more as a source of reference, but I sure learned a heck of alot.

Fantastic book to start with!!!

I took a VB class this year and this was the book that my teacher had recommended. During the class, we had to use a crappy book called "VB made easy". I read the whole book and still didnt know didly about VB. Then I bought this book!!! If you want a book that teaches you hard concepts of PROGRAMMING, and doesnt hold your hand through step by step projects that dont teach you how to think on your own...buy this book!!! I actually thought it deserved a 4.5 since a couple chapters could have been improved. But what book can teach you everything perfectly? So I curved it up comparing it to all the others i seen. Cause it sure came close. Now I do mostly programming at work with what i learned from this book. My next one will be "Profession VB 5.0 business objects" Check out the reviews on that one!!!

It is the best book for novice VB5 programmer

I learned VB for the past two years and had acquired for more than 10 books for introductory of VB. It is the best book that I have ever read for novice VB programmer. I highly recommended it to all person who are interested in Visual Basic.

Just staring out? Read this book!

If you are a new VB programmer, or even new to programming and want to start VB. This is the book for you. It is vey understandable and easy to follow, and is full of examples. The only reason why I gave it a 9, because the CD included inside didn't have the correct picture formats to view the figures in HTML. So I do think it could have been edited one more time, for the CD reason, and for a few mistakes they made, but for being one of the forst on the market, it was great. And I still consider it the best, even though more books like it are out there.
