Summary: Good book for "pick-up" programmers
Comment: Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is great for intermediate and experienced programmers who wish to know more about Visual Basic. It is also good for experienced VB developers who need a refresher on some items that are not seen everyday. As a C++ programmer, I find it easy to browse through this book and find information and snippets that I need to program in VB. It covers some important topics that are not covered by beginning books like databases, ASP objects, and ActiveX.
In all, I give this book 5 stars because of the ultimate usefulness to a programmer. It touches a lot of topics that a person should know about VB. Though, it presents some of the code like, "here, we discuss some sections, just see how it works", I still like it. The eBook is nice also to bring around with you.

Summary: Thank you Francesco for your labor of love!
Comment: Francesco Balena has written the definitive book for existing and new VB programmers! The author has distilled his very great technical knowledge of VB, very pleasing writing style, and tremendous feel for organization and presentation to create a gem of a programming text. A VB book with no equal and no substitute, it is a true classic. I wish there were a category higher than 5 stars!
FOR C/C++, Java (or even Cobol) programmers wanting an intelligent introduction to VB: DON'T LOOK ELSEWHERE! This single book will quickly teach you VB without insulting your intelligence.
FOR Programming Novices: Hey guys, don't start your journey on the trash-laden "made easy" paths; don't be misled by the tons of rubbish promising to get you there in 24 hours, a week, or whatever. Pick up this serious programming guide, slog a bit, and you will surely get there.
Thank you Mr Balena. Yours was the BEST computer book that I read in three years.

Summary: A Great Reference
Comment: I am totally new to V.B. and am attempting to write a fairly complex application straight off. EVERY time I have been stuck I have refered to this book and it has so far always helped me out. As a beginner I do not always immediatly grasp the code samples, but after searching through some more basic texts then returning to this book, I have so far always got the results I am aiming for. It is almost as though the author has looked at what i am trying to do, then sat down and written an example or two of how I can accomplish it!
If I could only recommend one VB 6 book, this would be it. Great stuff.
