This is one of the best textbook for Visual Basic 6 programming, for MIS students or professionals. It is easy to follow and designed for self-starters. The reference materials in the Appendix A-C are very handy and useful. I have used this book for my introduction to Visual Basic, at a few colleges.
Using this book as a textbook for a 2 quarter course

I have been in the teaching profession for over 30 years! Currently, I teach COP 2172 Visual Basic, and COP 3170 Advanced Visual Basic: a two quarter course sequence at Florida Metropolitan University and have used this as a textbook. The presentation style of the authors of this book is excellent. They use the theory introduced in each chapter in a large number of worked out examples and programming projects in each chapter. Then each chapter ends with a good selection of programming exercises as well as programming projects. The book also provides a CD-ROM containing all the worked out examples and projects of the book and the publisher usually supplies another CD-ROM to instructors that also contains the solutions to the exercises and projects appearing at the end of each chapter. I found all this material to be excellent instructional tools. If you wish to view the qualifications of this reviewer to judge the validity of his review, feel free to visit:....
Introduction To Computer Programming with Visual Basic 6
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As the title suggests, this is a book that stresses (really) programming and programming logic for beginning programmers. Though the book was written as a classroom textbook, I have really developed a clearer understanding of Visual Basic programming through self-study following the examples and exercises (hey authors, how about providing answers to the coding exercises at the end of each chapter for non-students like me?). It was painstakingly written and explained, stressing programming examples with each topic introduced. In addition, at the end of each chapter, code and screen shots are provided for a composite programming example covering the topics of the chapter. I cannot stress enough that this book is excellently written and a great choice for the beginning programmer in understanding the core of Visual Basic programming. Good work, and thanks!
