This book is useless for any work or learning.
All samples are made with authors' functions which are in compiled dll written in C++ !?
All samples are made with authors' functions which are in compiled dll written in C++ !?
Each chapter has at least 30% about porting from Win16 to Win32.
And book is filled with listings of forms and projects.
If you remove all this from book, the rest is less than 100 pages with confused explanations.
Do not buy this book. There are much better books around.

For as long as there's been an API for VB developers, Dan has been THE source for reference on how to use it. He is the definitive authority. (How many people can earn that title about anything?)
Use this book FIRST. Then check with other sources of you need to.

Format:Paperback
it works well as a desktop reference but it also takes a little time to explain some of the more hardcore concepts. i recommend this book to ANYONE wanting to start and sucessfully finish an API project.
from this book it is apparent that mr Appleman believes VB can do ANYTHING by using a little API and, after owning it for a few months, you'll know it's true and you'll know how to make it happen too. a must-have for any self-respecting vb programmer

This is a title
Disclaimer: our public library only had the edition for VB4 (1996, I think), and the CD was mostly unreadable so I couldn't get to many of the examples. Read more
