Dan Appleman's Developing Com/Activex Components With Visual Basic 6

Rating:
Summary: More Confused than when I Started
Review: The book is detailed and the guy obviously knows what he is talking about but that is little help for someone who is trying to understand the concept's and practicality of what is being put forward. Save your money and buy "Visual Basic 6 Business Objects" by WROX.

Summary: Geeks get it, newbies don't. Get over it.
Review: This guy REALLY wants reader to understand EVERYTHING about object orientated language and how to implement it in VB. I bought this book for [money] at a garage sale (well, lots of geeks in my region), and it turned out to be the best VB book ever. Being a C++/VB programmer, I am amazed by what I can do with VB. If you have knowledge of Object Orientated Language, and have 2+ years of experience on VB, this book will bring you to the next level. Otherwise, you will be like other angry reviewers, tearing your hair and grinding your teeth.

Summary: Smart man, bad book
Review: Yes, Appleman, you are smart and know the innards of vb like no one else. But a true manual makes complicated things easier to understand. In some cases, like the section on collections, this is achieved. Other chapters are so boring and buried in trivia that my head began to hurt, then I realized...I can close the book! I have a large library of vb books, and virtually never get the answers I need from this one.
