Bad Book on an already hard subject. There are better books out there. Don't waste your money or time on this stinker. It left me dazed and confused. It didn't teach the subject just gave examples which would be fine, if the examples were based on the exercise problems. What a waste of paper.

This was a horrible text book. It does not help with teaching, or with explaining the topic at hand. Instead it gives examples,which would be fine except the examples were not like the exercise problems. The book left me confused, and with plenty of questions for my instructor. I hated this book, and looked for better books to get me through the class. Alot of money for nothing. There are better books out there.

The book itself is OK at best. The author makes use of OK examples but has some very good questions. Too bad its hard to solve the more advanced questions he asks from the examples given.

In compairing the 7th and 8th editions there is almost NO difference between the two. I think I ran accross under 10( at most) total changes, and they were VERY minor. Why print another edition? More money to charge university students is probably why.

Oh, and I did very well in the 2 semesters...so Im not just bitching either!

I think this book may have been written in 3 days also!!! Just another book to catch the VB 5 Wave. Let get real, try out "Teach Yourself Visual Basic 5 in 21 Days" by Nathan Gurewich and Ori Gurewich this book it what you want!

This book should not be in print. It is so full of errors, and the writing style is so poor that I did not have the patience to tolerate more than 40 pages of it. It begins by teaching you how to create a directory in Windows explorer. I think they could assume you know how to use Windows as a pre-req.

I found this book to be very basic... After you're done reading it ...is useless =( It teaches you VB programming terminology and concepts. The whole entire book has a goal of teaching the reader by following 1 example program which you reproduce and go into deltails as you learn the simple concepts of logic.

...if you have a basic knowledge of porgramming in vb or any other language ....don't bother with this book....leave it to the beginner...but then again.... once your done with the book ...only good thing you can do is give it to someone else.
