Title: There's not much here
Review: Ivor Horton's book on C++ is great. Peter Wright's book on Visual Basic 6 is a joke. He skims over the material in a laughable fashion, not even providing a single code example for some topics. How you can write a book on a programming language and not provide a code example for using mulitdimensional arrays is just plain BAD. Then on numerous occassions the author blows the subject off by saying, "That's all there is to it, so I'm not going to dwell on it anymore." The truth is that there is a lot more to a concept like arrays for example than the skimpy coverage he provides. Books like this just want to make me write my own that much more.
