Summary: Simply the best Visual Basic book for beginners
Comment: This book is simply the best book on the market for teaching VB programming techniques to beginners wishing to learn the language. The book will take you through the steps in building a real-world database application. This example is probably the best that the authors could have chosen as the majority (80-90%) of Visual Basic development is database applications. From the first page of the book the reader is learning important things about the VB environment. The book is very easy to read, and key concepts are explained very well (without sounding condescending, a first I believe in the beginners market of books!). All in all, whether you are a junior programmer who wants to learn the techniques used in building a very good VB database application, or a beginner who simply wishes to be proficient enough in VB to look for an entry-level job in the industry, this book is definitely the best one for you.

Summary: Visual Basic 6 from Scratch (Scratch Series)
Comment: Inasmuch as there are numerous errors in the book as reported by other previous reviewers (see additional reviews below), I would like for someone to give us the URL where we can find the errata sheet. I have searched the Jesse Liberty site and the web to no avail.

Summary: The best programming book I've read!
Comment: Of all the programming books I've read (and tried to read), this is by far the best. I read this book completely in 2 evenings, and enjoyed it from cover to cover. I already knew VB, but this was a fantastic book that reinforced the skills I'd lost and was throrough enough to cover many topics I hadn't, before. It isn't designed for advanced VB programmers, but is perfect for beginners and novices. The writing style is great, without lots of silly jokes or sad attempts at humour. The only (very minor) criticism I might have is that it the complete instructions on creating objects, setting properties, etc. is repeated with a lot of detail, which is more reading to get to the "good part". A suggestion: have a table that shows the end-result of what that section requires as far as objects, property settings, etc. to avoid the 2-3 paragraphs of detailed explanations of how to do it. Still, a wonderful, wonderful, book. I can't recommend this title enough!
