It could move faster

I am using this book along with a university course in VB6. I find the book helpful and clear, although maybe TOO clear. I mean, once you learn really basic simple stuff like how to draw buttons and place items on a form, I think that they should then drop the painful step-by-step instructions on how to do those things once you get to later chapters and move on to the CODE (the new stuff). Other than that I find the book very helpful.

Great book for a course I took in college

This book was extremely useful to me in and out of my Visual Basic class. I used it for an intro to programming class in which I found it very easy to use. The book went step by step with pictures that basically spelled out exactly how I needed to do each task. The best thing about this book is that it brings you from the basic levels of VB to the more advanced topics. Now, as I go into my more advanced programming courses, I use this book as a reference. It is ideal if you want to learn VB on your own, and as a text book I give an A+. I recommend this to the beginner to intermediate programmer.

Not a "Dummies" book

this book is great for someone that knows a bit about programming or VB in general. Its not a book for "Dummies". If you never programmed before, try something like "VB for Dummies". I hear they are great books for inexperienced users.
