Presentation Methodology is Great

A very good book for both novice and seasoned programmers. Assuming absolutely no programming background the Author builds up step by step the programming concepts very clearly. Good for beginners to take up the VB programming career straight away. Also for one who is seasoned programmer and wishes to make transition to VB this book is the good start.

Great book for learning VB.

This book is simply great for newcomers to Visual Basic. I have had experience with other languages (quite a bit actually) but never VB. After reading this book and experimenting for about a month, I now have a job as a VB programmer. If you are looking for very technical information, you are better off looking through online documentation or MSDN. However, if you are just looking to learn enough about the language to get started then this is the book.

The Author(s) KNOW how to teach!

I have been dabbling in VB for several months now. On the recommendation of an internet friend, I purchased this book. The methods of the author(s) is incredible. You create the form and the code by copying the book, then you run the program, then the whys and wherefores are explained. By the time you finish, you understand what you have done and are able to change things as you like!You don't get your mind full of the six million or so shortcuts that are available like so many authors feel compelled to reveal. You simply learn how and why first. Other books I have read try to teach you everything right away and your head just gets totally full of things not needed for learning VB.My hat is off to Nathan and Ori! NOW do one on DataBase programming. I'll buy it!
