Review: "You get what you pay for" holds true for this 'book'. I will refer to it as an ¡°article¡± (book contains much more). How much can be expected for $1.99? Title should be... Visual Basic: Writing a Simple Program. I like the article, well written, teaches a few of the concepts needed to understand visual basic interface.

Review: I wasn't looking for an exhaustive text, just something that covers the basics. I thought in exchange for not having a real book I could save twenty or thirty dollars. But here you're only getting 63 pages anyway. It tells you how to make a "Hello" program and that's about it. How do you read and write data from a disk? It's not even mentioned. At 2 bucks for 63 pages many "real" books represent a better buy. And you're going to have to get one of those anyway.
