Product Description
Eventually all Visual Basic programmers discover that Visual Basic is like a Ferrari--yes, it's faster, but that means the user can get into a crash situation a lot quicker. This book teaches Visual Basic programmers the fundamentals of good programming and project management with advice on structured programming, designing a graphical user interface with VB, testing and troubleshooting, and more.

From the Publisher
An experienced programmer provides practical advice on the fundamentals of good programming and project management. Using a humorous, lively style, Warhol's coverage includes managing loops, limiting GOTOs, naming variables, programming tricks for the Windows environment, designing a graphical user interface, testing and troubleshooting your program, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best programming book I have ever read, March 21, 1999

By	G. Scott Maclean (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While dated in specific VB examples (it was written for VB3), this book is far more important in what it teaches you about the programming industry in general. It teaches how to write clean, structured code, and what to expect as a professional programmer. Anyone who writes code for a living should buy this book immediately, regardless of whether you're just out of school, or have been in the industry for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Programming With Visual Basic, April 6, 2001

By A Customer

This and Code Complete are my favorite programming books, and I have read a bunch. This book is hilarious, his stories are out there. Covers a good number of real world difficulties that other books don't cover. I wish this guy would write more, he is a genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dated for VB but timeless advice in general, December 2, 1999

By A Customer

Mark Warhol has given us a book full of very sound advice for writing real, maintainable applications. The programming tips are applicable to any language; I work mostly in Tcl/TK and Perl where Mark's advice holds just as well as in VB. It's a darn shame this one is now out of print. A note to Wiley & Sons: bring it back!
