3.0 out of 5 stars
A good supplement to other begginers books,
By Mojo Master "Rock guitarist wanabe" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beginning Visual Basic 5 (Paperback)
No doubt this book has some good stuff in it, but I didn't use it for my core VB learning. I didn't like the flow of the material, and found that I was left stumped at several points. I also found the book not very usefull as a reference if you are trying to find something or refresh your memory. I also found Peter's writing style an inhibitor to my learning experience. It just left me confused sometimes.I did find some good code examples and used some of the class examples in a project that I was working on. A companion CD is a must for this kind of book, but is not provided. Overall, this is a good book to have in your VB library, but don't rely on this one alone to learn VB.

Book could be a lot better,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Visual Basic 5 (Paperback)
I'm in a class which uses this book as it's primary text. We have problems in some of the code exercises. Some of the code in the book just doesn't work and it gets really aggrivating dealing with it. Additionally, features and functions are incorporated without first explaining them to the reader. Overall this is not a very good book to learn from. I personally had to purchase additional materials to better learn the material.

Lots and lots of errors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beginning Visual Basic 5 (Paperback)
Many errors were not on the publisher's site. If you are going to write a book, please make sure the code works. Try using it! Am I being unreasonable?
