Summary: Easy to Follow, But...
Comment: Yes the book is fairly easy to follow, but the tutorials ask you to perform tasks that are not possible with the supplied software.

Don't waste your time trying to learn from this book unless it is required for a class!

Besides VB6.0 has reached the end of the support life cycle, and it doesnt run on xp 64bit.

Summary: An excellent book for self study
Comment: I had bought this book for a class but this book is an excellent one for self study also. It basically starts assuming you know nothing about programming or even computer. After a few chapters you end up writing very good programs for Windows. If you want to learn Visual Basic 6 to program for Windows, this is your book.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE!!!
Comment: This is a course text book and does not come with the solution files to the exams found at the end of each lesson. After speaking with a rep from Thompson Learning - the book's publisher - I was advised that the solution files were part of the instructor package, and was not available to individuals. In other words, if you are not a certified instructor, or part of an instructor led course that features this book, you will not be able to measure your progress from the exams in the book.

I found speaking to the reps of Thompson Learning to be a particularly frustrating experience as I was treated rudely by both reps I spoke to. They offered absolutely no help whatsoever.

The book, in itself, is very well written and easy to follow. However, if you are not part of an instructor led course that features this book with access to the solution files, you may want to invest your money elsewhere.

As for this buyer, Thompson Learning is a definite two thumbs down.

Summary: Good for beginner
Comment: If you dont't have any idea about Visual Basic, this's very good book. You can learn easily.

Summary: An excellent book
Comment: I can only confirm the opinion of all the other reviewing persons. I purchased this book living in Germany and if anybody would translate it to the german language, I'm sure he could earn himself a lot of money. No german book equals this one.
