Reader Reviews
This book was helpful when I took a semester-long course on Visual Basic. I used it while doing the homework assignments. Used it mostly for specific examples and to clarify details in the primary course workbook (particularly when my 25+ years of COBOL thinking kept me from comprehending the VB way to do things). The index and table of contents were adequate for searching for examples and explanations. Comment | | (Report this)
