May 14, 2001     Sol Koppel from Evanston, Illinois
Excellent... Comprehensive and easy to understand
This book is the best book on VB I have read... and I've looked at a lot of them. The material is generally well organized and his examples are usually appropriate. Occassionally, his code is not readily understandable and the book could use an appendix with vb constants, etc., rather than scatter them thru the book.

The best VB book in the world.
This Has got to be the best VB book I have ever seen for the beginner. I learned more in the first 10 chapters than I did in other entire books.

Excellent self-teaching guide!
Like a lot of programmers, I have learned virtually everything on my own. This book is the best "tutorial" to visual basic I have seen. Packed with excellent information and great examples. Perfect for someone migrating from an Office/Access/VBA environment.
