Very good book for the beginner
Out of the 3 or 4 books on VB, this one is definately the best in how the author explains his material. Granted, other books had more information, but they were tailored for intermediate and advanced students. If you're a beginner, this book is definately the best I've seen to get into programming in VB. It's informative and also easy to read and understand.He also is one of only two authors (the other being the Forest Lin book) who gave detailed explinations on arrays. I bought the SAMS Teach Yourself in 21 days book and the QUE VB book by Spotts, and neither of them said much about the use of dynamic arrays, the use of Redim Preserve or much of anything else when it came to arrays, which I though was an important topic. For anyone who's beginning to learn programming in VB, I definately reccommend this book.

If there had to be only one...
I've always been interrested by the computer world and one day decided to teach myself programming. I picked up this book and started to read. At that moment, I didn't even know what a programming language was. I read it from cover to cover and didn't have the impression to learn something but suddenly I found myself programming small applications. I read other books then and today I'm a MCSD (Microsoft Certified Solution Developer). During my whole journey on the learning of programming, this one was the clearest book I've read. So, if you're a complete beginner in programming, get this book fast ! I would even recommend you to read it BEFORE moving to .NET books. If you already are a programmer coming from another language, it may not be the right choice.

College text used - not happy
I have my VB final due tommorrow. I have to agree with another reviewer. The examples don't explain what you need to know for the projects. My teacher is very smart but she grades hard. Between that and this difficult to learn from book our class has gone from 22 students to get this 4. There are 4 of us left in what should have been a beginner type programming class.
I am going to buy a Thompson Learning VB book instead. I am sure it will be better.
The only guy who did well with this book already had C++ I and II.
