Simple to follow

This is an excellent book for beginners and a great refresher for professionals needing to brush up. However, if you are a student using this book and you have to buy it used - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CD that should come with this book. You can download the assignments from the website BUT YOU NEED THE CD FOR VB 6.0 > I bought this book used and it did not come with CD so I used VB 5.0 and there are some slight differences and the assignments on tutorial 4-9 cannot open some of the projects using VB 5.0 > SO YOU MUST HAVE VB 6.0

Great Programming Book for new programmers and VB students

I had to buy a copy...for my Visual Basic I online class in college. It's an online class so all the work is done on your own and this book is awesome.The book takes you step-by-step from designing, planning, and coding VB programs. It walks you through every stage of creating a program. Textbook is very detailed and accurate. There are tons of follow up questions at the end of each tutorial and there are plenty of programming exercises at the end of each tutorial as well. I plan on buying Intro to C++ by Diane Zak to study on my own and any other books she writes that I might be interested in as well. I would recommend any books by Diane Zak. I strongly recommend any of her titles.

This is an EXTREMELY good book as a starting point

I have used several "beginner" texts on VB 6, but this one has to be the best. With most books I've seen or used, you start out writing a lot of code, the meaning of which isn't exactly clear. This book is different, as it tends to fill in all the holes and help you develop a good understanding of the language before delving into complex code examples. In addition, it emphasizes the planning and execution aspects of a project and helps you develop good coding techniques. If you are as new to computer programming as you are to VB 6, this is an excellent book to get started on.

Excellent Choice & Bargain

This is one of the best introductory and "bargain" choice for Visual Basic 6 programming. It is very easy to follow and designed for self-starters. I have used this book for my class at a few colleges, for introduction to programming course.

Awesome Text for Beginners

This text is quite a piece to carry around - over 900 pages - but the structure is ideal for folks who are interested enough to teach themselves Visual Basic 6 without the benefit of an instructor looking over their shoulders.The book takes readers through a wide variety of practical exercises in interface planning, coding and debugging, without boring you to death with unnecessary commentary. It gets right to the meat of things; it stimulates interest; and it holds interest.I recommend it highly.
