This Is The One!
This is hands down the best book for learning to program Visual Basic using objects. I know because I bought all the others and they simply left me dazed and confused. Perter Wright's perfect sense of what to introduce and when and how to introduce it was key to my learning this subject. Most importantly, he thoroughly documents the code in his examples so no aspiring programmer is left behind.This book is simply the best of the best.

Well worth the purchase price
The good news is that, with the amount of stuff you learn from this book on proper object-oriented programming, you'll feel that my money was well spent. The bad news is that every application you wrote before reading this - eh, you'll want to tear them apart and start from scratch. This book is a great introduction to object oriented programming. The concepts are sound, the explanations are great. The examples [stink]. In a book where he preaches cohesion, you would think that he'd cohesively stick to developing the same example further and further.

Solid foundation for OOP in VB
This book is a very good resource for developers starting out in OOP with VB. Even if you used VB, but never used objects, this book may just convert you to OOP. It will give you a solid foundation on how to create objects in VB, and also how to develop ActiveX components/controls. It is easy to understand, and it reads quickly. Author uses lots of examples, so if you follow along, you'll gain a better understanding of the subject matter. Because this book is easy to understand and it introduces a complex topic in simple terms, it will make you want to learn more about objects and will increase your confidence in what you know. At the end of the book, there is a case study using all the concepts introduced throughout the book--it's a good idea to do the project, as it will help you develop your own solutions on the job. The book also introduces UML, and how to make your own ActiveX controls with Property Pages. This book is just an introduction, so for more complex issues like designing business objects, you will need to get some other resources. This is, however, a solid foundation for OOP. If you will understand and know everything this book contains, then you'll be already successful in your job. You can always hone your skills later on as your experience grows. Buy it, if you want to understand objects, and don't want to get confused or discouraged with the subject matter because this book will really get you on a good start. If you're taking the MCP exams in VB, then objects and DLLS and ActiveX subject matter will be very easy for you after reading this one. This book is also used at some colleges in their OOP in VB classes. The only negative in this book, and it's a shame because this should be a "professional" book, is that it has many typos and grammar errors. The editors did a very poor job on it. However, if you don't mind the English, and just want the tech info, then it's going to be fine, and you'll find the errors entertaining.
