3.0 out of 5 stars Programing experience helps..., February 15, 2000

By 

Ian C. Lewis (Wilmington, Delaware) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Visual Basic 6 Interactive Course (Hardcover)

I gave this book three stars for two reasons:

1) The book does an excellent job of building the knowledge of a beginning user of VB from nothing to something without making too many "leaps".

2) This book, unfortunatly, has many errors that, if the student does not have any prior programing experience or someone with VB background handy, will cause you to beat your head against the wall!

I also was very disappointed to see that the website has been pulled by the new publisher. So much for getting certified!

I would strongly recommend that a new programer have a direct reference book like those from MS press handy to circumvent the errors. If you do this, you will find the book handy as an intro to VB, not to mention learning what NOT to do in your programing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who are these guys giving 4 and 5 stars to this book!, November 24, 1999

Are they kidding? This book is trash! Very frustrating. It stops you cold. There are so many errors it's simply unbelievable. What were the editors thinking when they gave the "go-ahead" to print it? It makes you wonder who these rave-reviewers really are!

1.0 out of 5 stars This is absolutely the worst VB 6 book I have ever read, November 4, 1999

By 

Erik Pfingsten ([e-mail]) (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Visual Basic 6 Interactive Course (Hardcover)

This is absolutely the worst VB 6 book I have ever read. I am forced to use it for a VB 6 class I am taking. I wish we were using a different book. There are SO MANY ERRORS in this book that it is almost unusable (the CD is just as bad). Errors in the code examples. Errors in the regular text. Errors in the End of Lesson quizzes. My Professor has to send out a 5 page document every week with all the error corrections for the upcoming chapter, and even then he doesn't get them all. I really wonder if anyone that ever used Visual Basic 6 bothered to read this book before it was published.
