Poorly Written
I have read dozens of books on programming languages and tools and this is the worst that I have ever used. The book is very hard to follow, the examples are incomplete and require significant additional research to completed. I would not recommend this book to a beginner, they will become very frustrated.

A classroom in a book
This is a great book for the intermediate to the advanced beginner. There are a lot of programs included and the
diagrams super helpful. The wide range of topics covered and the numerous links to great sites alone, made this a buy for me. I would suggest, for the absolute beginner (no previous programming
skills) to start off with an easier "VB for Dummies" type book, and then go for Patricia Hartman's.

The Good and the Bad
This book is not for beginners. The computer terminology seems to advanced for beginners, but the beginner must decide that. The beginner should read pages 5-8 before buying this book as their introduction of VB.

The screen shots are helpful, but sometimes they do not match the text descriptions step-by-step. However, I like this book for its breadth of coverage from: Deployment, Internet Applications, OLE, Images, Multimedia, the good old get/put file operations, and more than 1000 screen shots.

As another reviewer has said, the coverage is not 100% complete, therefore I would not recommend it for beginners, but to get an overview and use for particular programming techniques in BASIC, I would still recommend the book. Also buy Harold Davis' VB6 Book for a better step-by-step approach.

I have 4 VB6 books and the Hartman book I use as much as any. The MDI ( Multiple documents with the same parent form ) coverage was confusing to me and wasted pages on an example to show that MDI forms can't directly hold buttons and other data input controls.
