Review: Still going - Visual basic 6 was the last of the Mohicans before object orientated programming took over. Its tricky to get it to run on modern computers as Microsoft now likes making everything as complicated as possible. This is a good book and bear in mind once you have created a program on it Windows 10 will think there is something strange going on, and it is , its called Simplicity. You can be programming very quickly with this book.
Review: A comprehensive guide - I purchased this book as a self-taught programmer, the only previous book I had read on the subject being Visual Basic in Easy Steps , and a lot of my knowledge having been picked up from downloading sample code off the Internet or from simple trial and error. I was worried that the book would either tell me only what I already knew, or be so complex that I wouldn't understand any of it. It actually does very well at falling between the two - it is extremely comprehensive, while being (largely) comprehensible as well. At first I thought that my knowledge of this language would allow me to skip the first few chapters. However, I found that even on the simplest elements this book taught me loads that I didn't know, allowing me to make my programming much more efficient and effective. It also introduced me to many elements of the language I had previously known very little about, even in the earlier chapters. The style is thoroughly readable, with good example code throughout, and lots of useful and interesting explanations of how the particular feature being described has developed since the earlier versions of Visual Basic. The book is very well organised, making it very easy to find what you are looking for, and giving everything a very comprehensive treatment. The only criticism that I would have is that in the earlier chapters the author often uses features and elements of the language in his examples that he does not explain until later chapters. This means that the examples can often be very difficult to understand until you read the later chapters and discover what these particular elements do and why they were used. Overall, I would say that there is loads in here for more Visual Basic users, and I should imagine even quite experienced users could learn a lot of useful tips from this book. The only people who I would not necessarily recommend it to are novices, who will find it too difficult, and are probably better starting off with a more simple book and then graduating to this book when they have some experience with the language.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book for VB6 programmers.
*by R***H on 5 October 2013*

Sure, it is a little dated but then so is VB6. This is probably still the best book on VB6 at the moment. If you need to develop in VB6, look no further. It covers classes, events, databases. It is really well written, compact and clear and contains all information needed to create high quality applications. VB6 can be tricky to install on Windows7 but you will find resources on the web to help you with the installation.
