5.0 out of 5 stars ah... I am a little too late, July 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to Visual Basic 4.0 (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)

This review is a little too late because VB4 has long been sent to oblivion by all the developers. But this is really a great book for beginners to learn VB. Very few books touches DAO (of course, it is obsolete nowadays, but sometimes it is still good for building Access frontends).

I think the only thing that VB4 does not serve well is in terms of building user's own classes. But that is somewhat an advanced topic. so if you dont know VB at all, this is still the book to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner's book, August 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to Visual Basic 4.0 (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)

This book does a wonderful job of teaching the essentials of Visual Basic. It does not cover some more advanced topics, but as a beginner's book, it shouldn't! Excellent place to start for VB

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide to Visual Basic 4.0 (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)

This book does what it says it will. It will teach you VB 4. The first two chapters can be skipped if you're familiar with other programming languages but the rest of the chapters are simple great.

The information is conveyed in an easy to use manner and the way it is presented makes it easy for even a computer block head to understand. The "Why not try..." sections are kind of hard but they make you see how you can put to use what you just learned.
