Schaum's Outline of Visual Basic

I read a few pages and found it easy to comprehend. Hope to use it as a reference.

I had a project in a Nuclear engineering company that required a GUI for a FORTRAN based program. I waded through a few VB books but none were explained in a nice step by step fashion. Microsofts VB 6.0 step by step was horrible . Balena is a good book but for advanced readers. So My first month was unproductive as I did not have a good book and was learning and proceeding by Microsofts online help . then I got this book and I picked up VB in 2 days , and then after getting the entire picture and the basic concepts , I was able to delve into the more arcane matters using balena . I reccomend this book for every First Timer in VB .

If you are new to Visual Basic, this is the book for you. Buy this book and have a flying start with VB. In this very slender book you'll get the basics of Visual Basic programming. The book explains in a very straight forward & brief manner the IDE, how to work with it, variables et al in very precise way, thankfully no complicated way of discussing various issues. At the end of the book you'll find answers to various exercicse given in the book. That is indeed very helpful.
