Excellent Answer Book - a mini-guru in your pocket
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Although the book wasn't all I was looking for, it gave me more than I originally expected. I bought this book because I was tired of skimming through 10 different VB web sites looking for a quick and dirty answer to a question - and SAMPLE CODE. :)This book met my expectations very well, it answered more than half of the questions I had...and had answers to some questions I hadn't yet thought of asking. Although it doesn't hit many of the real advanced topics I was really hoping for (i.e., calling/using C DLLs...besides just knowing you can do it), I am more than happy with it -- and recommend it to other non-VB gurus. :)
This book really demonstrates the power of VB6
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book has MANY provocative examples of things that can be done with VB6. The examples are non-trival and not necessarily to be comprehended in one sitting (by me at least). This is definitely a book to work with while learnng to use VB6 and its many features (like the Microsoft msscript.ocx control (p. 506) which has really grabbed my attention). I give the authors high marks for producing this book.
Good Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is obviously not for beginners - it already said in the introduction . And it's not written in any order. It's a good idea to just jump around the book and read the sections you 're intersted in - Most chapters discuss a new area and not related to the previous one.This book is well explained - I personally like the User Assisstance , most book doesn't cover on this . Overall , this book will not teach you basic concepts but to enhanced your skills.
Good Bathroom reading

I would agree with some of the other reviews, ie., that a lot of what is in this book one could get off of the internet, and that the coverage of VB6 is pretty weak (if you compare this version with the previous version, there is not much difference), however it's a good source for advanced VB Topics and makes for some very good bathroom reading.
A good place to start

This book was pretty decent. It was pretty informative....but it lacks the in depth explanation Visual Basic developer's need but it does go into detail. If you know what you are doing, or have a little experience, id buy this book. I like the way it was setup. It answers many questions that you might have with simple problems....while going into harder problems. I found it neat that it went into depth explanation with Screen Savors. I think that's its best feature >:o) -Wizord
