I'm a C++ programmer with lots of experience. I have resisted VB for years until recently when I inherited a very poorly written VB app that needed to be fixed and updated. I understood OOP, what I wanted was quick and dirty straight facts. Give me syntax and no fluff, give the the real world experience and the all the gotchas so I would not pulled the hair out of my head. This book gave me that and much more, in short it saved my skin. I fixed the bad VB app and now I'm the company hero. This book travels everywhere with me and my laptop. It's worth its weight in gold. As much as I hate to admit it I actually like VB now that I have had to dig in. Don't get me wrong I still like C++ as well and now there is room in my life for both. Cannot rate this book highly enough an off the positive side of the scale of truly useful.
