I picked up this book after reading the one of the great books published by Wrox (Beginning Visual C++) and so forgive me if I bend towards comparison .... Well the title says it all ... this book is meant for a complete novice to computers ..... I wouldn't recommend it to a someone who already has some experience in programming .... beginners knock urselves out ... plenty to learn for u guys.... nothing more to stay ... Titles can be so misleading ... Beginning Visual C++ was so great and I learned ... Read More
Rating: - Good book
This is good book but not for a stone cold beginninng programmer. You will find that most if not all of the wrox books are good choices for learning a new programming language. Keep up the good work wrox !

The book is very clearly written as is any programming book published by Wrox. Nowadays, VB.net is much more popular. I guess if you want to learn VB, buy a book on VB.net instead.

Rating: - An excellent book for VB 6 beginners!
This is an extremely well written book. Peter Wright has this way of writing that keeps you hooked on to the book. There is a sense of humor which helps. The book explains the topics in quite good detail with screen shots so that one won't get lost! The examples are bug-free and work fine. The chapter on objects and classes, though short gives quite a clear idea of object oriented programming and how VB handles it.
The only hitch I found was that Chapter 12 onwards, the book gets a little ... Read More
