a book to learn VB 6.0

Hello, I´would like to learn VB 6.0. Could anybody recomend me a very good book for it??... I mean: the essential book!!

Thanks!!

Why a book?

Save your money.

Check out this link...

http://www.vbtutor.net/

Then click on 'Enter Tutorial'.

It seems okay. It's even got pictures / screenshots!

Or, alternatively, just type 'tutorial visual basic 6' in your favourite search engine and go for it.

Ahem... Of course don't forget to check out this forum as well :)

Moved.

If you don't know any VB then why start with VB6?

I'd suggest learning VB.NET

Your gonna move past the samples in the book pretty quickly since they're overly simple... I learned by learning how to extract info from MSDN Library, I also read the related articles/functions/controls... then its all a matter of treating the knowledge as "lego", with more blocks to use (you know more functions/controls/etc) you can build your applications more easily.

My advice is to also learn how to get and understand information from other sources, not just a book or vbforum.

cah....:

I would have to agree with Hack and suggest that you start your learning process with .Net.

You can get VBExpress and SQL Server Express FREE from Micro$oft's Web site so you wouldn't have to buy any software.

While VB 6 will certainly be around for a long time to come, .Net is the future and sooner or later all VB'ers are going to end up there.

Good Luck with your learning experience.

Hi,

I agree with them. .NET is becoming more popular for us developers. However, if your really interested in VB 6.0 or a student learning VB6.0, try DEITEL, MS PRESS or other Publishers. Use MSDN also..Well, vbforums contains informations for you to learn VB..This forum is awesome!!!
