The Complete Idiot's Guide to Visual Basic 6 - Amazon Review

Amazon Review

A Fine Complementary Book
Reviewer: A reader from Chandler, Arizona
I picked up The Complete Idiot's Guide to VB 6 at the library after having gone through part of Learn to Program with Visual Basic 6 by John Smiley, and, when I sat down to read it (not at my computer, but just for the fun of it), I kept saying, "Oh, THAT'S what that meant!" I'm brand new to any kind of computer programming and, while I gained some knowledge from Dr. Smiley's book, it took this book to really make some of the concepts clear to me. Had I started with this one, I'm not sure that I would feel the same way, but I would strongly recommend this book as an adjunct to other books on this same subject. We don't just buy (or borrow) one book on a subject this big, do we?

Perfect for the Beginner! Great book!
Reviewer: A reader from New York
I really enjoyed reading this book. Very easy to read. I tried several other beginner books and they failed at what this book was meant to do and that's make Visual Basic programming easy to understand. No fluff to obscure the principles. Great Job! Clayton you think you might write one in the same style as this on more advanced topics of Visual Basic? It would be a great seller.
