Title: Great idea - terrible execution
Review: The idea of the structure of this book is great: teach visual basic by having the reader perform tasks. Each task is small enough that it can be described in 7 or less steps (2 pages). Illustrate the steps of the tasks with screen shots.However, the execution of the book is bad to poor. Many times the tasks are not tasks but just information presented as tasks. There are many editorial errors (spelling errors, inconsistencies between text and screen shots, inconsistencies between steps in a task) that make it hard to execute the tasks (I guess you could argue that teachs you debugging...). Maybe future editions of the book will be cleaned up.
