Visual Basic 6: Books

[Cagez]

I need to get a book, so what is the best one? I'm sure everyone has gotten one at one time so what would you recomend?

Thanks

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

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

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.
