especially for beginners, but it's books like this that make the process just a little bit easier.Visual Basic in Easy Stepsis as comprehensive a guide to Microsoft's versatile programming, scripting and macro language as you could wish for.Well presented and easy-to-follow tutorials on the basics of creating forms, dialogues and simple variable handling pave the way for the more complex functions such as ActiveX and database programming.Along the way you'll pick up essentials on the creation and use of tables, menus and toolbars along with some excellent information on using VB to allow Windows applications to interface with each other. The book is filled with box-outs containing the key points and there's even a few tasty morsels thrown in to keep the more experienced user happy.As far as books of this type go, this has to be one of the most comprehensive with a stack of very well presented and easy-to-follow examples. Definitely a great introduction to the language and for the asking price it represents excellent value for money too. --Steve Russell
Advantages: Simplifies the VB programming approach Disadvantages: For the more advanced programmer, lacks detail

...me by one of my visual basics tutors. I started a visual basics (6) college course last year and had never come across the VB programme before so scoured the Internet for learning resources. I found many, planetsourcecode.com being one of my favourites but found very limited information (easy enough for me anyway) for starting from scratch. Once I had purchased this book online I found how easy programming can be. The book is aimed at the beginner ... ...an ‘A’ grade in my Visual Basics module. My fellow students have looked through it and bought their own copy (their not borrowing mine :-p) Now I have completed the module at college I still find the book incredibly useful as it gives loads of example programmes (which all work) and ideas for making my own programmes. As it says on the cover, “By the end of the book you know most of what you could ever need”. One of the best ...
