Summary: An excellent book for the true beginner
Review: This book is truly for the beginner. If you have no experience in programming in Visual Basic and want to immediately get you feet wet, this is the book for you. This book will take you from the very basic steps of creating a simple form to dealing with ActiveX technology and applications on the world wide web.

Summary: Excellent study book!
Review: I'm a novice VB programmer and I have several books on the subject and this is the best! It is real "How-to" guide, has a great deal of exercises and self-review problems. Explanation of new material is clear and sufficient. I'm really glad that this book came out so timely.

Summary: A very good introduction or refresher book
Review: This book is written like a college textbook. The same style with exercises and questions in the back of each chapter. I liked it, since there are lots of examples to walk you through the different parts of the language.

Summary: How To Program VB6
Review: This book is written well and logical, it has many items other books lack. This book is a first year comp sci book and that is why it does not have all the answers in the back; read the intro people. Comparing this to other titles I have used, this one fits my needs very well, easy to read, follow, and understand. You must put an effort into the reading to get the best out of it. If you do not work at it, its true, you will think this book is difficult. Deitel & Deital books fill my programming library now, don't waste money on other books.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book has been used as the standard text at a well known university for a number of semesters. However, due to numerous complaints, they will be taking it off the text list as of semester 1, 2002 and about time.The layout of the book is hopeless with its' mixture of BOLD text and red diagrams, let alone the assumptions the majority of the chapters make about the readers' experience. The answers to the chapter questions should be provided on the CD, not just to teachers/lecturers. I have read the book a number of times on various topics without success and gave up - looked elsewhere for the answers. Definitely not a beginners book - "VB6 for Dummies" is a far better option and approximately $AUS70 cheaper. The authors really need to look at their text layout style and providing answers to end of chapter exercises - I'll avoid further books from Deitel.
