Advanced Visual Basic 4.0 Programming

Summary: Good Introduction to Advanced Topics
Review: This book is a great buy for anyone who wants to begin to get into advanced Visual Basic programming. It is difficult for one book to try and cover many advanced topics, such as database programming with SQL integration, dynamic link libraries, and linking to C++ programming, but this book doesn't do a bad job, providing lots of examples. But because of the number of topics it attempts to cover, it doesn't go into the detail that you might want. So, if you want a good foundation in advanced topics, this is an excellent buy. But if you want information on a specific advanced topic, keep looking. Overall - a good buy!

Summary: Not very usefull as an advanced book on visual basic
Review: This book is rather weak on teaching "Advanced" Visual Basic programming. Too much of the book dwells on the basics and too much space is devoted to complete program listings which would be better put on the disk that comes with the book.Many many figures are done with character graphics and look very amateuristic and primitive and are hard to read and understand.I do not recommend this boo
