Much promise - no follow through
As an experienced programmer looking to learn languages I do not regularly use, or asked to recommend a book to someone else for learning a new language, I look at many books. This book is bad. The author takes you by the hand and does everything for you. There aren't any exercises or review questions at the end of chapters. People don't learn that way. To learn something and keep it learned people must do something, perform an exercise, think through and solve a problem. This book isn't much better than a classroom lecture, or a TV show. This book does not make you think!

Good for the basic beginner only
Mr. Halvorsen's book is excellent if the student is starting with just a very basic knowledge of Windows and nothing else. He takes you through the basics step by step as the title implies. Don't get this book if you already know something of programming, particularly VB. Pick up something a bit more advanced, such as Francesco Balena's "Programming Visual Basic 6.0" which gives a bit more information and assumes you already know than how to maneuver around the OS.
