Review: I bought this book in a local shop, hoping it would describe some advanced aspects of VB programming. What a dissapointment! There's absolutely nothing good to say about this book - avoid it!

Review: This book contains great information for all level VB programmers. It is a good study guide for beginners while it provides enough information to help intermediate and advanced developers move to a higher level.

It also helps VB5 or earlier version programmers because it indicates new features in VB6 with good explaination.

This book is organized in the way that you can easily follow. It is a great book for all VB developers.

Review: What you see on the cover and what you get inside are different. This book contains no "insider secrets", instead what you have here is the information that sets the beginner apart from the intermediate VB programmer.

I give it three stars for content, because it does cover a lot of intermediate-advanced level topics, but it only skims the surface of the advanced level stuff (Win32 API calls, using of the Registry).

There are no professional "secrets" found anywhere in this book, in fact about 1/4 of the book is aimed competely at the beginner, most of the remaining text helps the beginner become and intermediate level VB programmer.

Go flip though it before you buy.
