Product Description
Product Description
Intro Programming course is estimated currently at 150-200,000 and growing. Visual Basic is taking over where BASIC, Qbasic, and QuickBasic once dominated, in the Introductory Business Programming course. That trend will continue as VB continues to encroach on other less progressive languages such as COBOL and the Basic variations listed above within CIS and Business departments. The courses that can be supported by this text are not specific to any one type of institution, since VB in a Business course is largely a functional topic needed by all types of students from 2-4 year, to Vo-Tech, to extended, to even adult education.

Excellent book to start VB6.0,

This review is from: Programming in Visual Basic 6.0 Update Edition with CD (Paperback)
I was lucky to stumble across this book in Amazon.com and didn't really know what I was getting. Once reading through the first chapters and trying some of the exercises I realize this is great. The book teaches you the correct way to program in simple descriptive language. I have now leant what I need to start my own small projects and have ordered the Advanced VB6 from the same authors, looking forward to getting it. The book also comes with the learning VB6.0 CD which gets you started.

When i purchased this book it was because i had to for a college course but i was already an intermediate programmer. Although i already knew most of the contents of the book, i couldnt help but notice if i had bought this book when i was first starting out i would have saved so much time and money. When i started i purchased 2 books one of them being from the **** for dummies collection which i would highly vote against doing and the other was too technical without enough explanation. This one is highly detailed and step by step, after each chapter it gives you a full rundown of the code with detailed notes. If your serious about learning VB6 i dont know of any other book out thatll get you programming well in such a short time.

This review is from: Programming in Visual Basic 6.0 Update Edition with CD (Paperback)
I finally found it!! I had checked this book out from a library and it was the exact kind of book I needed. If I remember right the ladies that wrote this book had written it for a Visual BASIC college class that they taught. It's mostly revolved around the necessities and doesn't stray away to off the wall graphics programs or anything dramatic, but maintains a clear learner's course of Visual BASIC. Plus, it doesn't try to teach you VB in one day, wich seems to be the trend of many popular books.If you're tired of all those "Learn VB in X Hours" books then I'd recommend giving this a try. Heck, there's even a book out now called "Learn Visual Basic in Ten Minutes". lol
