Summary: An excellent VB book
Comment: This is one of a very small number of computer books I've come across that is concise, well written, lucid, and actually useful. No Dummies fluff, no long winded self serving expositions in search of an editor, just a clear and incisive exploration of the intricacies of VB backed by lots of examples in code. This isn't a book for beginners in that it assumes a certain familiarity with the language, yet beginners will benefit from having this resource available as they need to research topics. I wish that more programming books came even close to the quality of this one.

Summary: rare
Comment: Very rare indeed that you encounter a VB book worth the paper it's printed on. With the Hardcore series out of print and nearly every other book prefaced with beginner, it not often you find a good book on VB not written by Kurata or Appleman.
As the title says, it is a "code-intensive resource." That, backed by the wide range of topics covered (Lang Basics, File I/O, ADO, NT Services, some COM, Win32 API, etc) makes it a solid resource.
I've worked the Net services and .com industry for three years and this is the best VB book I have come across.
Of course, I hate VB and would rather write Java...but that's another story.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good
Comment: A good solid compact reference. I keep this one close at hand.
