5.0 out of 5 stars
Allows you to start to build a solid foundation in VB,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learn Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Now (Learn Now) (Paperback)
This book is very good for the following reasons: 1) It accepts (as must you) that VB is a robust and complex programming language that does not lend itself to being crammed in one book an subsequently forced down a readers throat as if it had to be digested all at once 2) Instead, this book takes a representative slice of VB that feeds you with knowledge without overwhelming you; and like a savory dish it tempts you with more (later - when you are ready for a second course) 3) Starting with a rock solid grounding in the basics, Halvorson gets you up and running quickly (little program treats - to keep with the food analogy). 4) He takes you deeper into the subject without overwhelming you, building on previous material (more of a reinforcement of basic concepts inherent in VB that you have to make part of your working vocabulary in order to use the tools effectively). 5) When you are done - you will want more and feel well prepared for it. Highly recommended! PS: This book is well edited and I found maybe 3 typos of little consequence - this is in itself very refreshing to see in a technical book these days. KUDOS!

Clear, concise learning tool,
By A Customer
This review is from: Learn Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Now (Learn Now) (Paperback)
I found this book to be exceedingly well written and edited. I didn't know VB all that well before opening the book, and Mike's excellent examples really made the concepts clear. I definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learn Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Now (Learn Now) (Paperback)
This was the first book I've ever read about programming and I was able to complete every single exercise in less than one month. This is an excellent book to start with for someone who has never taken any kind of programming. The CD ROM that accompanies the book permits you to create several types of programs from simple "hello world" programs to advanced programs using active X. This book has given me the confidence I need to move on to more advanced Visual Basic courses and other programming languages. I'm going to purchase the Visual Studio reference guides and the Visual Studio program before the end of the year and Ace every program in that package. This book has me thinking in code now and it's a great feeling.
