Summary: Great Book To Learn Database Programming
Review: I had about a year of VB programming experience when I purchased this book mainly to learn ADO and database programming. I have worked through 7 chapters and out of the many books that I have purchased, this is one of the best. If you are new to VB, you might want to start with a standard VB book and then go to this book after you gain some experience and want to learn about ADO.

Summary: Excellent learning book
Review: I have been programming with access for over 10 years and found the transition to Visual Basic a difficult one. I purchased several books to try to teach myself VB to no avail. When I discovered this book (having been away without my reference book), I thought it was very easy to understand. When I got back home, I literally read 13 of 15 chapters in 4 days and accomplished all of the exercises. The following day I began programming a professional database for one of my clients. I am confident and attribute my success to this book.I also agree with the review that states if you are a total beginner with no experience at all, it probably isn't the book for you. I would recommend this book to anyone who is trying to understand the world of VB.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I have bought several VB6 books and I must say that this is the best by far. The exercises were easy to follow and more importantly made sense from a real world perspective (not the typical Books/Publishers database). A good starting point for learning ADO.

Summary: Doesn't get any better than this...
Review: I have to say that this is one of the BEST programming books I've ever read. The writers did a really good job of explaining tough issues like ADO so even a novice like me can understand it. I highly recommend this book to others.

Summary: Source code
Review: I just purchased the book and found source code at the Murach website. After filling out a questionaire downloading was a simple process. I haven't had a chance to examine the code yet. Since I haven't read the book yet, I didn't want to rate it, but it was necessary to post here.

Summary: Better than expected even after reading reviews
Review: I read the reviews and bought this book, hoping for something at least usable. I was very impressed. The layout of the book is easy to follow, and builds upon its self. Examples are numerous and well thought out. They represent real life problems you are likely to encounter. The examples also show enhanced versions of the projects, which even futher enhance their use.

Summary: Solid writing and content
Review: I thought this book was wonderful. I bought it on the recommendation of a friend and was immediately impressed with how this book gets the reader involved. I worked through all of the applications in the book and feel as though I now have a thorough understanding of VB6. Interestingly, I called Murach Publishing and was given the web address to download all of the source code. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants or needs to learn VB6.
