Title: What a way to learn VB5!
Review: Both the authors and Sams Publishing have come up with a unique approach to teach programming. Sprinkle the code with bugs and omissions and have the reader fix it. Not only is the text code bad, but also the accompanying CD-ROM. I have to admit that after struggling to get the examples to run, I did learn a great deal and am now very confortable with Microsoft's on-line documentation. The pity is the approach used by the authors is example centric with little explanation as to the details of what was written. The Editors at Sams Publishing should be ashamed to let this book out. The magazine, Visual Basic Programmer's Journal, Letters to the Editor section recently discussed the reasons for poor quality technical books. They must have gotten an advance copy of this one.
