Wonderful Book
I have read many programming books, none have been even half as good as this one! I would usually get up to about Chapter 9 or 10, and then the book would become so advanced, I would have no idea what the author was talking about. Not the case here, I am almost done with the first part of the book, and about to get into more advanced topics, and it is still very understandable. The files that Paul is talking about can be found online at the website on page 762 in the Appendix, and the complete download took me no more than 2 minutes on a 56k modem. The files are then very helpful...instead of just reading about what a program is supposed to be doing, you can actually run it, and look at the exact code, even make changes if you want to. Overall, this is the best book for any beginner's, or anyone who has some VB experience, but is ready to reach a new level of understanding. Great job Paul!

As someone with no coding experience, I'd say it's solid.
I've never taken a programming class, and I've never picked up a programming book before. I was checking out the Smiley books down at the B & M stores, but they seemed to be a little too fluffy for me. I like the idea of code you can look at and concepts presented to you in a logical manner, and this books seems to do a pretty good job of that.My only complaint is the example code sometimes uses stuff you don't learn until later on, which I find very confusing because I like to understand the entire page before i turn to the next one. But once you run into the formally introduced code down the road, it makes a bit more sense. But on the VB scene as a whole, I'd have to say that the books are pretty easy to read, but starting from scratch is a much more daunting task. The only reason I'm learning is to debug, so I'm probably going to have to go out and get some VBA books and some reference materials (probably an o'reilly nutshell book).

Awesome intro and reference on VB6
This book is my Bible for Visual Basic. I used it to learn VB and continue to use it as a reference. I really like the author's style. Just the right amount of info for a real developer to write VB code. I highly recommend it. It's the only book I have for VB.
