About this title

Review

Que's Using Visual Basic books have long been among the best Visual Basic (VB) tutorials (the volume for VB 3.0 was particularly strong), and the latest in the series, Special Edition Using Visual Basic 5, Second Edition lives up to the tradition. This careful, reasonably paced tutorial for absolute beginner-level programmers takes nothing for granted. Work through this volume on your own or in a class and you'll gain a solid grasp of the language and the development environment. The book also introduces several more advanced topics including ActiveX control creation, database access, Windows API calls, and writing programs with VB 5's object-oriented features.
