Title: Good for Beginners, very thorough simple discussions
Review: Beginning Visual Basic 6 is just that, a book for Beginners. With zero programming experience you can delve right into meddling with complex GUI interfaces that will astonish any hard-core unix programmer. Of course, he doesn't go into detailed analysis of every bitty control, and that is explained in the intro. My only quip with this one is that, as with most beginners books, there is too much unnecessary hand-holding. At times, the steps of operating VB6 are more in-depth than the actual programming; which means it will prolly be a longer read than you're expecting with slower results. But the lessons are quite effective at introducing us newbies to the VB6 interface...preparing us to delve into the sticky MSDN help files for VB6. A very nice read, I recommend it.
