Summary: Best book I ever bought!
Review: A One-liner for this book: If you're in for Advanced Programming with Visual Basic 6, you just gotta have this book! The name proves for itself. This book is what a VB guru needs, and the CD-ROM included is nevertheless as useful as the book. For extensive coverage on API, Registry functions and more without pages full of technical jargon, go buy this book.

Summary: Poor sybex support for this full of errors/missing files
Review: basically good book, but with a lot of references to missing from the CD files, and no support from sybex. there are better books and more supported(e.g. wrox)

Summary: Another lousy book from Sybex
Review: First let me note that I am not the author of this book so my unflattering review is the true one.Second this book is pointless in two ways 1. Lousy coding where there is no point in examples and more - they are not what they suppose to be - makes me wonder do these guys have anything to teach anybody on developer level. 2. Explanations are nonpresent, code is thrown at you and the intention but not the explanation. One does not know where the project begins, what are the built in modules and what are the coded ones, at the end one doesn't know what is the project about. Sad book.

Summary: First really useful VB book!
Review: I bought this book at Costco, just because they were selling it cheap. But it ended up to be the most useful VB book I own. It bypasses the regular "place the textbox on the form" crap and takes you right to the good stuff. I used SQL Server 6.5 a lot and my company is considering upgrading to version 7.0, so the "What's new in 7.0" section was really helpful. Also the section on internet programming was a great find! Overall this is an excellent book, it's very concise and easy to read!

Summary: The best programming book I have ever seen !
Review: I have bought several VB-books. Noon of them come close to this book. The book is very well structured, include excellent examples and have all examples on the CD. All the code I have been using works as it should. If you are an intermediate/advance VB-developer this is just the book you have been looking for.

Summary: Best VB6 book out there
Review: I have read about half of the book and it has have already answered more questions and given me more insight into Visual Basic than any other book I have read! The coverage of database connectivity and API calls is outstanding as is the section on Programming for the WEB. I found the writing style to be very easy to read. I recommend this book to all Visual Basic developers.

Summary: An excellent text for the intermediate/advanced programmer
Review: I read Petroutsos' mastering VB6 book (for the serious beginner to intermediate level programmer), which was also excellent, so I bought this one. This book helps you raise your skills to a fairly advanced level. The only caution is that the first 8 chapters on databases do tend to favor SQL Server, but even so, the information is very useful. All in all, this is a quality book (in a market full hopeless books). Highly recommended
