Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0: Deluxe Learning

Summary: Wonderful Set of Materials
Review: This set provided a really great learning experience for me. The Step-By-Step book is well written and easy to understand. It doesn't go into a lot of depth but that's where to other book comes in. It is less readable and more technical, but it provides a wealth of information and is still relatively easy to learn from. I was dissapointed that the Step-by-Step book didn't cover the API or Object Oriented Programing topics (like classes), and instead covered integrating with Office, which I could have done without. The Learning Edition of VB itself had some limitations I wish I had know about before hand as well. It can only create standard EXEs (no ActiveX anything) and is missing the API viewer, which provides information on how to declare API functions. But still, that's why it's the learning edition. You can always get the Pro edition later. I definately recommend this to anyone starting VB.

Summary: Excellent Beginning to VB 6.0
Review: This set provided me with a great jumpstart into VB 6. Inside of a month I have learned what I need to move on to ASP, COM and DCOM and have also used VBScript to make my web work shine. I used to wonder what everyone was talking about at technet conferences and at work, but now I can hold my own in a conversation. Not to mention write some pretty cool apps. Great Deal !
