Well, for you people out there who are looking to program for profit, READ THIS BOOK FIRST!!! I've made a program called CelsusAtmosphere with the skills that I learned from this book and I've already made $128,000 in my first three months of marketing it! This book basically gives you tips that will help your programs run more efficiently. GREAT BOOK!

For the experienced programmer: BUY IT

This is as close as it gets to being able to take a pill and know everything you need to know about VB 5 the next morning.

GET THE MOST OUT OF VB5 IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCED PROGRAMMER !

I'm experienced programmer, I've been programming in Turbo Pascal for DOS before I started programming in Visual Basic 5. As technology moves fast, Windows completely replaced DOS, so I decided to start learning Windows programming. I bought Visual Basic 5.0 Professional Edition and Mastering Visual Basic 5.0 book by Evangelos Petroutsos which is just what i need ! It covers Visual Basic 5.0 deeply from forms (windows) to Active-X controls, Graphics, Windows API (Application Programming Interface functions which let you take control of other windows based applications and many other features) and even Internet Programming with Visual Basic 5.0 !!! After reading this book, you will be able to create programs which will go far way beyond visual basic environment, applications which will take control of other windows based applications. This book includes everything you need to know to start and MASTER your Visual Basic 5 Professional Programming and get the most out of Visual Basic 5. I want to thank Evangelos Petroutsos for his great work writing Mastering Visual Basic 5 book which is a MUST-HAVE book for programmers who have some experience in programming, and now want to jump into and MASTER Visual Basic 5. It doesn't matter what your programming language you're programming in right now or programmed before is in order to read this book, wheather its DOS or Windows based, what matters is that you need some kind of understanding of basics of programming and programming experience in order to read this book and find it useful. This book is for experienced programmers who want to learn and MASTER Visual Basic 5 and its latest features, not to START PROGRAMMING using Visual Basic 5. - Dmitriy Gerasimiov.
