Visual Basic ® 6 Made Easy: A Complete Tutorial for Beginners

Overall, good and simple to follow. Some fundamental flaws in the book.
I ran through this in about three days. Overall - this book is great with the basics, but lacks sufficient detail as it progresses.The author's example applications in the later chapters are plagued with bugs, undesirable outputs/behaviors, and some typos. I learned a lot in correcting them, and using google to look up proper methodology - but that's not a very good guide to send me down that path.I definitely suggest going through all the examples as you read along. As the book progresses, the author inexplicably throws in new and unexplained features. For example - when you get to EX 19-3 he throws in error handling. This was awesome to learn, but there was no explanation of how this was working or mention of error handling previously. And in this same example, other methods are missing error handling. Also, most examples are missing proper error handling without explanation. It makes no sense. Seems like it should be used as an example, or glossed over in the interest of allowing the user to focus on new concepts. Not implemented poorly throughout.Soon after, when you get to Ex 19-5 - the author's code doesn't work quite right. I modified it to function and it was a great learning tool in that sense. Again, not the road you'd expect for something titled "Made Easy"I don't see any use or mention of coding conventions - which would have been nice.You get to arrays early in the book, but it's not until chapters later that it tells you how to initialize arrays as constants, and I never saw variable arrays. I (again) used google on those.Also be aware that the digital version has some awkward formatting so sometimes new functions look like they are embedded, but they are meant to be their own methods.Despite its flaws, it gets the point across to the reader and you will learn from it - especially if you're like me and have not touched VB6 in over a decade. To get past some inferences required, some previous programming experience is recommended in using this book.

Great learning book
I like this style of learning. He makes the rules understandable while also showing you examples. Very glad I bought this book after looking at it online. It is very nice to have a book available while doing the programing, and to set and read in my easy chair.

Teaches More Than Others
I have had his ebook but found that kindle makes it easy for me to read no matter what computer I am using and regardless of where I am at. Truly he takes you through the language and teaches you than surface teaching like the others do. You will learn how to go deeper and get more out of VB6. I highly recommend this kindle book
