Simply an Excellent book

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2002

Verified Purchase

This is a great book for beginners as well as programmers with some experience. The book is easy to understand, contains almost no typos and the code examples are very reliable in terms of not containing errors. More knowledgeable programmers can spice up the sample code with more functionality, and even beginners can too as they progress through out the book. Since the code examples are unrealistically easy, juicing up the code helps one mirror more real world situations to some extent. One small draw back, and an example of juicing up the code, is that the book does not cover the With/ End With construct, which comes in handy in many of the examples. After reading this book the programmer can move on to more advanced books. Happy Visual Basic 6 programming!

A good book to get you started.

A good first book to introduce you to coding; however, if you are serious about becoming a proficient programmer, you will need other to consult other books/workbooks to learn more.

A fun to read introduction to VB

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2001

This book is fun to read, yet it still manages to introduce the most useful tasks in VB. Each of the 26 chapters is short enough to keep you on your toes and long enough to give you a sense of accomplishment at the end.
Written not just for people new to VB6 but programming in general. I found the "Programmer's Guide" on the VB6 CDROM too technical but this book was easier to follow. The author throws in lots of jokes to make the new concepts and technical terms more fun to learn.
If you've never programmed before and want to make a start, buy this book, which includes a "working model" of VB6 on CD.

Not suggested for COMPLETE beginners

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2002

If you decided that just the sound of the word 'programming' sounds fun and you want to see what it's all about, or if you are just completely new to programming, this book may not be the right one.
When I first read this book, I had no previous programming experience whatsoever. At first, the author amused me a bit and convinced me to read on and that it's a piece of cake.
One problem with this book, although this is only an introduction, is that it does not provide any exercises to drill the basics into your head. It merely demonstrates the code with several examples, and after that the chapter is over. Even though some examples may be explicit, there is still not enough there to facilitate your remembering of previous chapters. I found myself constantly flipping back when I did not recognize certain code.
The other major problem is that the examples that are provided are too complex. Even when he breaks the it down piece by piece, the concept of the code is still hard to grasp. I frequently struggled trying to understand what was happening in the code itself, even after it was explained.
I strongly recommend beginners to purchase another book. After you have learned all the basics of the langauge, this book is very helpful for re-enforcing what you already know and finding more advanced ways to approach certain problems.

I am an idiot and this book suits me fine

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2003

I was scared of .net,liked QBASIC and wanted to learn Visual Basic. I actually picked this book more because of the free software but found the concepts very clearly explained and with a detailed explanation of basics that would keep the beginner interested and induce thinking ahead of the pace of the book.

The Perfect Title

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2000

The title sums it up perfectly. This book is for complete idiots. If you have any programming experience at all this book will leave your mouth dry and your neck hurting.
The text is overly verbose. This is probably perfect for someone who is brand new to programming, or even computers in general.
If, however, you are not a complete idiot, don't get near the "Complete Idiot" series.

Non Fiction

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2007

This is almost a programming book. Inasmuch as it is aimed at someone who doesn't know anything at all being able to start making and putting together very simple programs to let them do bits and pieces. Maybe useful as a very quick look at the interface for those unfamiliar with gui programming or the language.

A Decent Primer To Start With

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2000

This was my first VB book and I've read it twice. It is done in an easy to read style with lots of examples. For a novice who knows nothing about VB it makes for a good introductory start. However, one must be warned that this book will only get you started. By being limited to the "Complete Idiot's Guide" format there simply is not enough information in the book to prepare a person to actually sit down and write a serious program. Plan on adding more detailed books to your reading list if you are trying to teach yourself VB. With that said, I would recommend this book to total newbies who want a relaxed introduction to VB without being turned off by some of the more technical tomes available. This book will get you warmed up and ready for the heavier sources. Experienced programmers will find this to be a waist of time.

Nice book, shame about the jokes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 18, 2000

Verified Purchase

The programming content is excellent - well organised, an ideal way of feeling your way into a new language, even for a programmer of long standing such as myself. The supplied CDROM is a welcome addition. The only weakness is the obsession with trying to be funny on every page - I know it's not supposed to be the definitive prgrammer's reference, but the jokes soon irritate.
