Visual Basic 6 - Reference

Noel Jerke's book should not be called a 'reference' book in any sense of the word. However, it does cover a lot of VB6 content. Jerke takes a 'teaching by example' approach. Although none of the concepts (objects, collections etc)are really explained in detail, his show how you can use them. Another excellent feature is his step-by-step approach to real-life system development. There are several excellent projects that he has developed from start to finish using production-type databases (SQL server 7). This is definitely not a beginner's book. You need a real reference book like Microsoft's Visual Basic 6 Programmer's Guide in order to totally understand and complete the examples. The programming styles that Jerke has used are consistently those recommended by Microsoft. You can learn a lot from the book provided you have the time and patience.

A Great Code Rescource

Complete Reference is the right term. The code found in this book is invaluable and is a treasure trove of examples covering a wide range of topics.

The E-Commerce Code Alone is Worth It!

This one really is 'complete' it goes from Windows to Internet. Great code!

Excellent for Experienced Programmers !!

I am have been a Borland Delphi developer for 4yrs stooped in OOP, but I have been interested in learning more about the glorious reviews of Visual Basic 6. I have reviewed most of the books and I found this one to be the best for an experienced programmer to be able to get up and going very quickly in VB6. He waists no time to show you how to create real world apps. I find VB6 fascinating on how it handles COM and Class Objects. If any one wants to develop robust apps think about Delphi 4. It makes COM, DCOM, & CORBA very easy to work with and you get total leverage on developing the Interfaces. Major RAD !!! I give Joel a 5 STAR !!

Outstanding and In-Depth Coverage

For anyone who needs a good reference that covers just about anything you would like to do with Visual Basic, this is the right book. Definitely one to keep handy.
