This book is well worth the price
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
For a Microsoft manual, this book is extremely well-written. I think had the author penned this for any other publisher, it might well be a best seller. The book tackles the major new features of VB5 using some humorous examples in some caes to make its point.I teach VB for a living, and I think for the money it's a valuable resource. I recommend that my students read it within the first few weeks of class.
A good reference for VB Programmers

Also it doesn't have many pages, but it does contain many useful concepts and information.
Comprehensive detail of how to take advantage of VB 5
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
VB5 is truly significant in that, for the first time, the deep and rich object-based roots of Windows 95 are exposed to Visual Basic programmers. No short course nor book can reveal this depth, and Microsoft's 900 pages afford little waste in covering the points. From their current version of object-oriented terminology ("OLE out, ActiveX in") to the subtleties of project management, this book maps out the full scope of VB5 with enough depth to assure that you won't miss out on any of the system's significant new capabilities. Beware: this book is for the seasoned programmer. Its programming examples are designed only to demonstrate specific points, and otherwise provide no tutorial for developing your own applications. The good news here is that this book is authoritative in showing you the Microsoft vision of how VB5 is ideally intended to be used. The only bad news is that VB5 is not ideal in all ways, and you shouldn't depend on this book to point out the pitfalls or workarounds.
