Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6 in 24 Hours

The book is in very good condition.

Received the book which was supposed to have a CD in it. The reason I orderred this was because I had the book already and the CD broke. I orderred it as used because it did not indicate the CD was missing. Ihad to return it and orderred a new one in its place. The return and reorder were painless and I got the CD, just a bit later than I expected to

Good for beginner like me.

I have had good luck with this book, ONLY because I have had other programming languages. It does get into actual coding, but does little to explain how it works.The authors experiments in the CD are quite lame. The ones that DO work off the CD offer no usefulness.If you are good with programming already, this book will be useful if you are new to VB, cause you can figure out how to make bigger better projects. But most of what you do in VB will be of your own experimentation. Don't count on this book offering any real programs. It merely gives you the puzzle pieces, and it is up to you what you do with them.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a great read and very informative.

There is no doubt in my mind that this will be the best computer programming book that I will read this year, unless maybe I read one of my own ;-). I was joking of course, but seriously Teach Yourself Visual Basic in 24 Hours is excellent.First of all, the chapters are broken into realistic parts. There is just enough content in each chapter to fill about an hour. That means you can sit down at your computer and have time to grasp a task without needing to put the book down due to some other distraction. Also, the authors don't waste too much time going over irrelevant theoretical concepts, although they do cover some necessities in the early chapters.Second, you CAN complete this book in 24 one hour sessions. I think it took me about two weeks to get through this book, and I didn't even push myself. In general I think that the chapters take about an hour to work/read through, but inevitably you will spend more time on the exercises than you need to.Last, I think that the examples make a great deal of sense. The authors teach real world needs, in other words, you won't waste much time learning things you'll never use. The examples are also fun; because they are short/constructive exercises, you will find your self feeling rewarded once you complete each chapter. This is a book you will enjoy learning from.In all, I give this book a BIG 5 stars. The authors do an outstanding job moving the reader at a deliberate, yet productive pace. I recommend highly to those that have and don't have experience with VB or other programming languages/tools.

Good book, good price. Worth the money. Delivered promptly.

I had been working for my company as an administrative assistant for about 6 months. I am now transitioning into becoming a visual basic programmer.This book got me on my feet quickly! This is the best book I purchased for this endeavor. I came in with no knowledge of the Visual Basic environment. The only experience I had was with BASIC as a kid and with PASCAL in high school. Now, I find it rather easy and can whip out a program in very little time.This book definitely helped me to get where I am and I now make much more money than I did before. And is spending this amount for this book worth it? DEFINITELY! I went from making just over $20k to making almost $36k. This is worth that investment!I hope this has been helpful. Have a great day!

Allows 24 hourly lessons taking one through the basics of Visual Basic 6. Does what it says on the label.
