Microsoft Visual Basic 6 - Step by Step.
MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC PROFESSIONAL 6.0 STEP BY STEP helps readers quickly and efficiently learn how to write 32-bit Windows(r)-based programs using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. The easy-to-follow lessons include clear objectives and real-world business examples so readers can learn exactly what they need to know, at their own speed. Prepared by an author who has written numerous titles for the beginner audience, the book includes approximately 12 hours of instruction, packed with screen shots and illustrations to help readers learn as quickly and as easily as possible. The companion CD-ROM includes practice files tightly integrated with the lessons and the source code and finished versions of the mini-programs discussed throughout the book. An army of programmers, eager to put the power of Visual Basic 6.0 to work, will embrace this book.
In 24 easy-to-follow lessons, Microsoft Visual Basic Professional 6.0: Step by Step covers all of the fundamentals of programming with VB6. The book breaks lessons down into clearly defined steps and concise discussions that assist in creating demonstrative sample programs.
A companion CD-ROM contains 84 projects, organized into 24 folders to match the chapters in the book, plus an extras folder. The sheer number of projects and abundance of source code provide a valuable resource that will help beginning programmers get started quickly.
Though it contains a complete introduction, the book avoids or simply briefs on some advanced topics like multiple document interface (which, of course, advanced programmers would need to be familiar with, though it receives only a one-page sidebar).
The discussion of object linking and embedding, while a tad Microsoft Office-centric, adequately introduces and explains a potentially difficult subject. The book also contains lessons on current topics, including DHTML and file transfer, a pleasant surprise as Richter gives these topics their due.
