Reviewer: Mark Shust from Cleveland, Ohio -- My Review -- May 12, 2000
A+++..... A completely satisfactory book
for
the beginning programmer.
Reviewer: Jerry Saperstein from Chicago IL --
A methodical approach to Visual Basic 6 -- February 10, 2000
This is an unusual book. Clearly
intended
as
a teaching aid, its approach is
substantially different than most of the
other well done VB books. The authors take
a very methodical, step-by-step approach to
VB and presume that you are a
newcomer. But what they've actually done is
to create one of the finest references
for BASIC, Visual Basic and programming
languages in general. Each element of
VB is described in detail with excellent
examples. From the IDE to building ActiveX
controls. Unlike some VB books, this one
doesn't intend to turn the neophyte into an
"expert," but rather provides the core
knowledge that every programmer should
possess. I enjoyed it so much that I'm
adding it to my VB collection, despite having
a number of other volumes already. This one
is just plan handy as a quick reference
when I forget - as I suspect we all do from
time to time - the basics of BASIC.

The undergraduate textbook introduces the
fundamentals of
computer programming, then challenges students to
exercise
these skills using Visual Basic 6.0. The CD-ROM
contains a student version of Visual Basic 6.0
and program files from the book. -- Copyright © 2000
