Summary: Good as a reference, but Not a programming guide
Comment: While this book is a fairly good reference, it certainly is dreadful as a programming guide. Little things annoy throughout, such as the author constantly mentioning new topics only to cop-out and say "see Chapter X for more details". Some sections have this at the end of every paragraph, which makes is read like 'stereo instructions'. Also, while most programming books are quite dry, this one takes the cake for most 'sleep inducing'- it is a stream of information with no mention of possible uses or implementation. As an ASP/VBS developer I thought it would be easy to move from VBS to VB, but not with this book. Avoid if you are new to visual basic!

Summary: This book is well worth the price
Comment: 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.

Summary: A good reference for VB Programmers
Comment: Also it doesn't have many pages, but it does contain many useful concepts and information.
