Title: Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Step-By- Step. Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Michael Halvorson Rating: 3/5  This book is difficult to rate. I would highly recommend it for someone with NO programming experience. The writing is very clear and is easy to follow. Other than that, it is a decent overview of VB if you have never programmed in VB. It touches many areas of the language. However, it fails to explain concepts fully and is of little use after it's been read. I would have given the book a better review except that it claims to be written for people with programming experience and even VB experience. It is of definite use to people who have never programmed before, but of limited value to experienced programmers.
