Product Description
Intro Programming course is estimated currently at 150-200,000 and growing. Visual Basic is taking over where BASIC, Qbasic, and QuickBasic once dominated, in the Introductory Business Programming course. That trend will continue as VB continues to encroach on other less progressive languages such as COBOL and the Basic variations listed above within CIS and Business departments. The courses that can be supported by this text are not specific to any one type of institution, since VB in a Business course is largely a functional topic needed by all types of students from 2-4 year, to Vo-Tech, to extended, to even adult education.

Reviews


The best Visual Basic book written
Programming in Visual Basic 6.0 is by far the best book for the beginning VB programmer. I still use the book today for quick reference. I tried other books and they just don't come close to this one. Concepts are clearly explained and there are plenty of examples in the book to practice your VB skills. I highly recommend this book.

The best Visual Basic book
I used to programming in Cobol and I did not know to programming in Visual Basic when I read this book help me a lot. Actually I'm coding in Visual Basic and all my foundation is from this book. However, I believe it is the best books for beginner and low advanced programmer. All the code are easy and simple to understand.

A great book for BEGINNING programmers...
This book seems to get poor reviews for some reason. This book is a great value because of its price and easy to use format. It is true that this book seems to be geared for BEGINNERS, but Visual Basic is a pretty BEGINNER style of programming. If you have programming experience, you may want to try more challenging books. If you are new to Visual Basic or programming altogether, this book is for you. It even comes with a CD which gives you a VISUAL BASIC 6.0 program to use! Overall the value is super. How many computer text books with the program included can you find for this reasonable of a price. So as others may find this book to "simple," I like the overall value, easy readability, and format of this book.

It is a book for beginner who are willing to be tortured
This is the first book I read about computer programming. I have no problem understanding the concepts introduced by this book. But the errors in the programming examples make this book a very frustrating one. I do not recommand this book for these who want to learn Visual Basic by themself. It is a good exercise for someone who knows VB to find out errors in this book.

Ideal for small children
I am using this book to teach my 9 year old Visual basic as his first programming language.He has previously had some nonformal experience with VB ( simple games, animations etc with VB ) I find that the Bradley book is ideal for him. It covers the mildly boring bits of VB fairly well.

( meanwhile I am teaching my 13 year old Scheme , his 3rd programming language)
