I have 'Step by Step Visual Basic 6".. I dont know if I recommend it, I learned a lot from it, but its too basic, I think you should learn the basics of VB online or from eBooks, and then buy an advanced VB book.
I was searching Amazon and that book was one of the top rated, I was thinking about getting it but thought I should get some recommendations first.
I need basic right now, online doesn't have enough for me. I like to go from one thing to another, not reading 60 different tutorials by different authors... Although, Karl Moore tutorials are great :D
guys I learnt VB6 using VB Tips . It's short & direct way 2 learn.
Ok, but I want a book.
woah i have that book too...its EXCELLENT...EXCELLENT. perfect book..a must read. nine stars :DQuote:

You could use the MSDN tutorials, read through the documentation...
if you get stuck, come here... it would help if you set a goal to design some sort of simple app, and then just learn everything you need to make it work...
I bought a VB book but it was basically useless to me... Vb in 21 days by SAMS... ugh!
What about the "Dummies" or "Easy Steps" books? They're usually quite good.
I prefer that book which solve the problem using codes.
if you have the strong basics , then try to get the intermediate level.This will give you a good push ;)
Microsoft Press - The Essential Guide to Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
Pure Visual Basic 6
Here it is

well , I like the way I use in Learning langs.It's like this way :
1-Learn Controls includes (butttons , textboxes, ...etc)
2-Learn Objects
3-Learn Classes
4-............ and so on ,
What I mean now is splitting the large titles into small portions.
good luck :)
NO, dont get VB for dummies book, each chapter talks about a control, that was the first book I got, Like 1 chapter is about the methods of a textbox, another is about command button, another is about combo box, way too basic, get step by step, if you really want a book.
