Summary: Not for starters
Review: I bought this book couple years ago. I learned alot but not what I expected. Excercises are not detailed enough.
More simple short programs could've been much better than going
thru one program almost half of the book.

Summary: Better books out there
Review: I bought this and 3 other vb book for work and I think this is easily the worst one. It doesn't explain a lot of the code, which is why I bought the book. Also the way it's organized isn't very easy to follow. I bought this book because I firugre that Microsoft would know their product the best but apparently not. My advice is to look for another book on the subject.

Summary: You got to get this book
Review: 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.
