    Not for VB6... for .NET though, there is a plethora of stuff out there, it depends on what you want. Some people work best with step by step "let me hold your hand" tutorials... for which there's Dummy's books, 21 Day books, Idiot's books.... then there's the kind that are somewhere between tutorial and reference, the Mastering series falls into this category... then there are the types of people that learn by reading the references... like MSDN, Black Book, Black Bible, Bible... magazines, things like that.

    Best thing to do is tackle your local bookstore... peruse the programing section, thumb through the books, see which ones appeal to you.

    I own several VB beginner books but the one that did the most to move me past the beginner level was Visual Basic 2005 for Dummies. All the code and samples are still relevent even if you are using 2008 and I assume will be so in 2010.
