Summary: Good for gving you false confidence.
Comment: First there'e the misleading title - COMPLETE CONCEPTS & TECHNIQUES
Once I went through this book, I found it very easy & thought I was really a PRO in VB6.
I got a rude shock when I actually met my programming friends: If you think you are a pro and can create useful applications with this book, you cannot be more WRONG. This book teaches you nothing about VB6 language. All it does is teaching you to layout a nice form & some extremely elementary code.
I personally do not think you can create anything useful based on the knowledge from this book.

Summary: Misleading title
Comment: I teach Advanced Visual Basic. I inherited students who took the prerequisite course, Visual Basic from instructors who used this book. All the students I got in Advanced Visual Basic had absolutely no idea about programming. All they could do was draw good looking forms with some controls on them and copy the code from Shelly and Cashman book. It does not provide challenging, unsolved programming projects for the students. All the students learn is to copy its forms and its code. Whatever this book is, it cannot serve as a good textbook!
For my Advanced Visual Basic, I use Chapters 7 through 12 and appendices of "Computer Programming with Visual Basic 6: A Problem-Solving Approach with Cdrom" by Alka R. Harriger,Susan K. Lisack,John K. Gotwals / Paperback / Prentice Hall, and I like it very much. Frankly, Chapters 1-6 of the Harriger et al book would be much better for the first course!

Summary: not a sound investment
Comment: The purchase of this book was a horid mistake. Only people who either want to learn a VERY little bit of VB or have cash to burn (in which case you should e-mail me for some ideas) should buy this book. There are other books which have a much lager, more usefull, scope. The book does hold your hand throughout the proccess, but it never lets go. The pace is way to slow, even for the newest newbie. The authors must have had elementary school children in mind while editing. It's more of a kids picture book than a textbook. Trust me... don't waste your money!!
