Description: I picked up this book to brush up my VB 6 skills. Just brush up on them... I've been a VB & C++ programmer for over 7 years. After going through about 4 chapters I noticed that the authors couldn't decide on a level a detail in which to talk about their subject. They give you one topic in detail (several pages) then hit on a very closely related topic in 1/2 a page. Then you get to the exercises to practice and find that they are based on that 1/2 page of explaining a topic. And they tell you to "Please Refer to Micrsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Help" FAR too many times!!!! One thing for sure, you'll be an expert at using the Search Engine in MSDN!!! One thing I did like is the inclusion of multimedia files showing the "author" actually performing tasks... Just when you wonder what the heck they're talking about, you remember to look at the CD for a video. But even those are inconsistent. I say, use it if you know VB and need a refresher or are working with someone who knows VB. Otherwise. ..
