My regard for the book is unchanged. Today (04/17/04) for those who are in need of a "survival set" on "Classic VB," this is one of two "must have" volumes. The second is Charlws Williams' "Professional Visual Basic 6 Databases" by Wrox Press. These two books will see those who are maintaining and even extending VB 6 applications while the new stuff is .Net, these two books will get you through. Original Review: This is the only book that covers everything that you can do with Visual Basic. I know of no other source with that kind of information. Brevity is required to cover this topic in under 1300 pages, of course. This book coupled with the VB 6 Programmers Guide and the three volume "Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Reference Library" will have what you need to know about Visual Basic. There is a tremendous benefit in having one author tackle the entire subject in one book IT IS COHESIVE! I would advise rookies to tackle this book first and use the Programmer's Guide when they are stuck. The reason for this is that the Programmer Guide's data access is data control oriented. If you are going to be a professional, you want to break out of that mold and use the ADO and DAO methods. Data controls have their place, but it is not in professional programs. Balena covers all the relevant data access methodologies. Finally, the lazy people who are looking for a lot of "cut and paste" to keep from having to understand what they are doing should pass on this book. Balena wont write your program for you. Review: Not for the faint of heart - This book was listed as "acceptable" condition. When I received the book it was obvious that this was brand new with just a little shelf ware...now that is what I call acceptable. The book itself is not for the faint of heart. You better have a good grasp of basic before venturing into these pages. It is obvious that the author(s) have a great deal of knowledge in visual basic but there style of presenting I found is for the seasoned programmer. If your not you might be saying to yourself " that's nice but what do I do with it?". My Idea of a good teaching book would be the following 1. Lets start off with a project like a corporate name and address book of all employees. 2. Lets set up all the forms and fields we need like name ,address etc 3. Lets start simple (just a shell) 4. keep adding to it. When through lets start another project. . I first learned visual basic 3.0 with Peter Norton who .in every chapter, stated this is what were going to do and here is how we get there....... It was the best teaching book I ever read. His later books on the subject, however, fell short. Visual basic has become more and more complex with the "visual studio" concept. I believe this is the biggest problem facing authors and why teaching it has become more and more difficult. Incorporating all languages into visual basic , in my opinion, was a mistake . It just made it more confusing and harder to learn. It is obvious the term "keep it simple" was abandoned long ago and we all pay price today. I would use this book as a reference manual and not a teaching guide I strongly suggest that anybody who wants to learn visual basic should learn basic first...life will be a lot easier. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,936,172 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #122 in Visual Basic Programming (Books) #3,089 in Computer Programming Languages #8,672 in Computer Software (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (90) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 2.28 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0735605580 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0735605589 | | Item Weight | 4.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 550 pages | | Publication date | June 18, 1999 | | Publisher | Microsoft Press | ## Images ![Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 (Mps) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ook2Lc7NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have for both Pro's and Rookies! *by J***Y on May 8, 2000* I wrote this review on May 8, 2000.
