Excellent starting point!
Reviewed in Canada on February 13, 2001
Although finding and reading a good Visual Basic book is an excellent start to ones Visual
Basic career, I cannot over emphasize how important it is to get ones hands on a copy of the
Visual Basic compiler. With both the book and the compiler you can quickly become
comfortable with the Visual Basic Development Environment by typing in some of the
source code in the book and test running it for yourself. Eventually, when you feel
comfortable with your knowledge of Visual Basic you can begin writing and running your
own programs. Visual Basic Deluxe Learning Edition will allow you to do just that.

A highly recommended set of materials!

A Great Place to Start!
Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2000
I was fortunate enough to have my company pay for this book for me. After finding it here
for a very low price and then the rebate for owning MS Office kicked the final price down
considerably.

I am about halfway through the tutorial segment and so far, I am pleased. Although it gets a
bit dry at times, once you suffer through it, it does give you very useful information.

It starts off by explaining the environment of Windows and then moves into the program,
itself. It introduces all the tools and windows inside of the program. It walks you through the
entire process of building three programs. If you show a large desktop (I used 1024x768)
and reduce both windows to be shown simultaneously, you can watch the tutorial for what
to do, pause it, and then go over to VB6.0 and do it! What can be more simple than that?
You get to learn by doing. That's one thing that scored this program big points with me!
Later on, more advanced topics (advanced for a beginner, anyway) are introduced.

Also, since you have all of the tools you need to start programming right away, it is very
useful, indeed. There are some features in the Professional and Enterprise editions that are

helpful to orient users toward the visual basic environment, and has chapters on the syntax
of the language itself, which is something I really needed. There are numerous helpful
programs that come on the CDs, and I found the book extremely readable. In short, I highly
recommend this book for its clarity and thoroughness.

Wonderful Set of Materials
Reviewed in Canada on April 25, 2000
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.

Excellent Beginning to VB 6.0
Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2000
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 !

Excellent Resource
Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2002
This package has EVERYTHING that you will need to learn V.B. 6.0 and compile executable
programs on your own. The step-by-step manual goes at a good pace for someone with
little programming experience. The programmer's guide book and MSDN Help Library have
the information necessary for those going beyond the 'Basic'.

A "porky pig" approach to learning the basics of VB5.0
Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 1998
As a former C and C++ programmer, I found Michael Halvorson's approach easy to use and
very informative. This set contains everything a VB wannabe needs to rev up to speed in the
language. After completeing the course I gave it to my wife. She's mid-way through it now
and also very impressed. When you complete the course you won't be a professional VB
programmer but you will have a good grasp of the basics of both the language and the
development environment.

The books are pristine, looking as though they had never been used. I was hoping the
accompanying disks would run, knowing the age of the language, but, alas they will not.
This, my foolish hope, is the ONLY reason for 4 stars, instead of 5.

Um, unnecessarily wanted more Microsoft Press because of the featured missing in Visual
Studio 6.0 of books with the software. Considering everything is M.S.D.N., but still like this,
there has been two things so far I did notice that I had not seen any information on
anywhere else.
