VB6 Tutorials - Pls Clarify

[xirokx]

Hi There,

I am going away in a week for several days to a remote location.

I thought it would great to overdose on VB6

I have found this tutorial within the forum:-

http://visualbasic.freetutes.com/learn-vb6/

trouble is there is no internet connection where I am going, so how can I save all this data prior to going there so I have it accessible on my laptop?

If anyone has any video tutorials for the basics and intermediate steps in VB6 I would be very grateful...

Please help

Thanks in advance..

You can use any free website downloader and download all the related pages. Copy the files on some removable disk. (CD/DVD etc.) so that you can view them offline later.

Is there a reason for learning VB6 rather than VB.NET? VB2008 Express is free... and you should be able to find eBooks or PDFs that cover a lot of that material.

any advise??

Surely you have the MSDN Library CDs that came with VB6? Should be ones dated from somewhere between 1998 and October 2001 (the best ones for use with VB6).

I'm serious: read the whole section on VB6 page by page. There are several chapters of a tutorial nature under the heading Using Visual Basic.

Your based in the UK as well, cant believe that they are still teaching VB6. When I was at college 5 years ago. They were teaching .Net (Just- but they were).

The real question for me is always where they expect students to obtain a legit copy of VB6 to work with. Perhaps an old VB6 book which has a "VB6 Working Model" CD is still in print or something?

There are several special deals from Microsoft for academic institutions, so I wouldn't be surprised if they get very cheap licences for their students... and due to the nature of the usage, those licences can probably be re-used the next year by different students.
