Summary: Great Book but lacks some examples
Comment: This is an easy to follow book for those who are beginning to learn Visual Basic. Some chapters I found can be sped through in much less than an hour where I found other sections a little more confusing. The book is great for a base knowlege of the language but lacks working code examples in some chapters. The tables provide a great reference tool but some of the instruction is vague.

Summary: A good way to begin programming as well as Visual Basic
Comment: Have you wanted to get more power from your computer but was put off by having to learn programming? This book will take you through the basics of what a program is and current programming theory. The author does this in a non dry way, and attempts to present complex concepts in easy to understand steps.

As someone who is versed in several programming languages, I was able to get through the book quicker than some, only because I could skip over some the basic programming theory. But for someone who has not had programming experiance, I recomend reading the book fully. There are a few typos, which can cause some confusion, but the information can be gleened from the contex.

This book is a good buy.

Summary: Excellent Overview Of VB5 For Beginner
Comment: Mr. Perry patiently explains the fundamental concepts of VB5 for the beginning VB5 programmer with no prior experience. Each chapter ends with a helpful quiz and hands-on exercises, some of which depend upon sample programs that are included with retail versions of VB5.

One gets the impression that Mr. Perry has had experience teaching VB5 beginners, since he clarifies many points that confuse beginners, but which VB5 gurus often take for granted.

The prospective reader should note that mastery of the VB5 programming language requires significant time and effort. As a beginning VB5 programmer, I have found Mr. Perry's book to be a helpful first step.
